When I first moved into this place I wasn’t sure how long I would stay. It’s a tiny studio so rent was cheap, for Tokyo standards anyways. I’ve gotten used to the constant rumble of the trains that almost feel like they’re over my head but I’m a late sleeper nowadays anyways and those stop around 1:00 a.m most nights. Coming from the northern part of the country I guess I always grew up with plenty of nature, trees, grass even animals. So being in such an urban setting, well, it was going to take some getting used to. But this is the experience I came here for. I’ve shed the innocent, naive country persona and started taking my new form. My style and fashion are different, my friends are definitely different, and I’ve done some things I don’t think I would dare tell anyone back home. They just tell me how much I’ve changed. But I’m sure that this is always where and what I was supposed to be. This is home now. Some people enjoy views of the oceanside, or a nice mountain or even just a grassy park. I used to enjoy those things, but now I like a different view.
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.
