Japan at Night
Ties van Brussel (Netherlands, 1984) is a Dutch physician, street photographer and illustrator living in Amsterdam. His photography work focuses on nightly urban settings, with a special interest in the atmosphere of coloured lights in Japanese and Chinese cities.
His visits to Japan stirred up his life as he found his first and true passion: street photography. After wandering around in Tokyo, night after night, he found that he had a profound hunger for capturing rural settings. These scenes, exploring the intercourse between colours and composition, were just there in front of him, on live display. Instead of having to paint or draw them, the aesthetic he was searching for was captured by camera around every corner.

entry description
This photo series was shot last year during my latest photo journey to Japan. I focus on nightly scenes in urban settings. My goal is to explore the intercourse between colours and composition. I have an obsession for the contrast of the filth with the gracious shattering of coloured lights.Ties van Brussel (Netherlands, 1984) is a Dutch physician, street photographer and illustrator living in Amsterdam.
