title
SUBURBAN SYMMETRY
OTOKO is the japanese word for „man“. It contains both initials T for T horben and K for K remers. The japanese culture had a strong impact on OTOKO’s photographic style.
Having bought his first professional camera at the age of 16, learning the ART of photography in an autodidactical way, OTOKO was blessed with eyesight, and an indexfinger to release the shutter button at the very moment, capturing moments, feelings, moods,... to make them last forever.
Coming from a very ARTistical family background, OTOKO’s photos mainly show clean & simple structures with straight lines. Being an analyst OTOKO tends to have an eye for patterns and structures which might not be distinguishable at first sight.
OTOKO is a freelance photographer holding a Bachelor of Arts degree and is based in Stuttgart, Germany.

entry description
Symmetry can be found in many places. OTOKO's series of Metro-, MTR- and MRT-stations is one of them. This is only a small choice, there are many more. It shows PARIS, LISBON, KUALA LUMPUR and HONG KONG. Because they are usually placed below the urban surface, OTOKO's series is titled (SUB)urban.about the photographer
