entry description
Tokyo is a place like no other. A city from the future, bathed in neon and awash with cartoon-like symbols. To wander Shinjuku at night, with its futuristic sounds and childish electronica filling the air is pretty mind blowing; fascinating, beautiful, sometimes strange. This project explores the neon fused fantasy world of Kabukicho in Tokyo.about the photographer
I'm a photographer from the UK, currently living in Australia after a pretty nomadic few years. I shoot both editorial and commercially, and over the last few years my personal work has focused on long term stories in Rio, Tokyo, Shanghai and Burma. For those stories I tend to start shooting what I find most visually striking about a place and obsessively fine tune the idea as I go along. That could be an aspect of the everyday which is deeply ingrained in a culture, like football in Rio de Janeiro's favelas. Or some place within a place that just intrigues me, as was the case with Electric Dreams in Tokyo.back to gallery
