I had already seen less of my friends over recent years. That's Tokyo. Everyones busy making careers and families of course. But the last couple of years nobody could have predicted the world changing like it did. There was only so much online life could offer and I missed seeing my friends in real life of course but one person in particular. I guess I never worked up the courage to tell her how I felt. Maybe I always convinced myself the timing was off. But tonight, seeing her for the first time in a long time made me realize how foolish I've been to keep my feelings to myself all this time. The gift the world was given, for those willing to receive it, was the realization that life is short and to get what I truly desire, well, sooner or later I'll have to take my chance.
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.
