This shot really show the buzz of Tokyo. Condensed scene, small space, rushing people, everything being organised, etc. The composition is also quite peculiar. Normally, the girl who is carrying the barrels should not be cut off at her shoe soles like this, but I went ahead and cropped this photo in tighter, regardless. I wanted those girls to be a part of their bar or restaurant, cut like jigsaw puzzle together with signs and boards and lights and small roofs. I wanted to make this photo feel even more congested, cramped and squeezed. I wanted to shoot this at 200mm, but with street photos you shoot when you see a scene happening. 2seconds later it was all gone. I greatly appreciate the elusive momentum of street photography, the capturing of the moment and all, but it does feel a bit invasive to me, which is why I rarely shoot it. I am not too comfortable with crashing into the personal space of others and abusing it, but street photography does have a unique charm to it, which often difficult to pass on.

Lots of photographers panic when they see harsh sunlight outside, and prefer to shoot during overcast or on a cloudy day, when the light is evenly cast and much more soft. I, on the other hand, love hard light, strong shadows and powerful textures, they are the soul of an image. Portraits are more dynamic, and, if you know how to use the light and how to control it, they can still be soft and dreamy. I love this photo, definitely one of my favorite portraits, I knew I want to go vintage black and white with it. The hat, the sun, the dress, the expression, t all fits. Get your gear out in hard sunlight and explore what you can do with it. Model: Rita.

Hire a photographer in Tokyo Buy original Chinese and Japanese calligraphy art There are numerous great places in Tokyo with great architecture, in fact the entire city is just one wicked candy store for a photographer. But some places are different than others. For example, the Kaihim Makuhari area around Tokyo Bay in Chiba prefecture has some amazing spots for architecture shots. The photo below shows Makuhari Messe convention and trade shows complex, which si massive. I have spent 4 days photographing it inside and outside. Then if you look afar towards the tall buildings at the back in the center of this photo, you will find there a spectacular modern office building area, with elevated walkways. I highly recommend it for black and white and abstract architecture shots.

The weather was great, though it was a bit early in the afternoon, so the sun was pretty harsh, i had no reflectors nor flashes, so we improvised and used one of their clothes as a reflector, it was a white t-shirt, to bounce some light back onto her face. It came out really nice, I edited it in a way to add a bit more of that fantasy world glow and softness to the picture. Hope you guys like it! I have no idea what anime character she is portraying, if anyone does, let me know.
