Work consumes me. It's been 5 years since I took any real time off and I can't remember the last time I took my wife out to dinner. She's been distant the past year in any case. We don't talk much about it though. In fact, there isn't many times or places I can just relax and let myself be even if for just a short time. But this time here, after a long days work, where the draft beer flows into a sake night cap...this is where, the quiet strangeness amongst co-workers during the day melts away and for a brief time our guards go down and we can just be real. This is my happy hour.
Anyone who has spent the most minimal time in this country will instantly appreciate how Japan is a land of stark contrasts. For every push into the future there are remnants of the past seemingly at every turn. Skyscrapers are being built next to shrines and fancy Michelin star restaurants are surrounded by vintage izakaya drinking pubs. Japan, as the worlds most ageing society, has always had its eyes on the future but its feet firmly planted in its nostalgic past.
This contrast leads to a wealth of photographic opportunity. And as a photographer with a keen interest in deep culture I wouldn't want to be photographing anywhere else!
There's a story attached to every photo I show here. Mostly fictional, but also mostly from my own experiences in Japan over the years. In this series my aim was to capture and edit in a way that portrays modern day Japan but in a style that gives it a time-honoured classic feel.
