Framing Japan – Part 1

Published on 31 December 2023

The article I published yesterday contains two photos I took that same day. Publishing those photos made me want to publish more photos. So, I dug into my archives, and I came across photographs I took in Japan around 2012/2013.

I miss Japan. My last stay there was in 2016 and I can’t wait to go back. I’ve always thought it’s a gorgeous place to take photos. In my opinion, the lighting, both natural and artificial, is like nowhere else. The landscapes and the architecture are also singular.

Here are four first photos I selected because, well, I like them. I plan to publish more in the future.

A street in Kyoto

The charm and quietness of a random little street in Kyoto.

Tokyo Tower

An iconic symbol of Tokyo, standing among the city’s skyline.

Landmark Tower

The ultimate badass architectural masterpiece — gorgeous and hands down my favorite building in the world.

Buildings in Yokohama

A composition of layers of buildings somewhere in Yokohama at dawn, which, to me, has some Katsuhiro Otomo vibes.

The panoramic shot of Tokyo on this article’s cover is another one of my shots, found in my archives.
