Silence of Japan
Living in Japan and as an urban guy, I try to share in this series some views of a quiet Japan at night. Architecture and structure are present everywhere in Japanese cities.
They are so well-conceived that I personally see beauty in a footbridge, in a highway junction as much as in the cherry blossom.
My goal is to share a different view of Tokyo than the classic busy and crowded area or crossroad and share how Japan is a peaceful country to live in.
I hope you will like it!
Keep up to shoot, stay safe and take care!
My name is Nicolas Wauters, and I'm a landscapes photographer living in Japan.
Since I was a kid, I have always been attracted by new technologies, video games, computer software, photography and first of all by "Tokyo."
Thoses passions brought me to discover Japan, a country who fascinates me, for its "new technologies" as much as for its "ultra urban" side, but also for is culture and its traditions.
After several successive trips, in 2013, I packed up my suitcase and flew to the Japanese Capital to live my dream at 100%.
Later on, I decided to share my passion and knowledge for Tokyo and Japan through my photos and tours.
Through my pictures, I try to immortalize a Japan, most of the time removed from the crowd of its inhabitants. I'm trying to change the vision of a very noisy and populous country by taking pictures of very well-known places with fewer people possible.
Of course the permanent crowd is a big part of a city, especially in Tokyo that has no less than 40 million inhabitants. But trough my work; I wish to offer the quintessence of the capital and for this I constantly seek these privileged moments of privacy that I have in Tokyo.
I love photos of landscapes, urban landscapes, architecture and night streets.
