Keep walking

My part: Photographer
Where: Japan · Tokyo

Street scenes, late nights and the people who make a city feel alive. My Japan photo collection, with Tokyo’s colour, movement and everyday characters at its heart.

One more street

Japan is the sort of place that makes me want to keep walking. There’s another little street, another set of signs, another pocket of light. Tokyo gives you so much to work with that half the fun is deciding what to leave out of the frame.

I’ve brought together the street photographs and portraits here: the busy crossings, quiet corners, people at work and characters you meet along the way.

People, colour and a bit of movement

I like letting some of that energy stay in the photograph. A person moving through a frame, the glow from a shopfront, or someone giving the camera a smile. It doesn’t all need to stand still.

The result is a little visual wander through Japan, with plenty of attention paid to the people who give the place its character.
