Tokyo 東京 Editorial Street Photography
The brief was to capture Tokyo showing the location to someone unaware of the tourist hotspots.
The commissioning editor required images that were easily identifiable to the location of the photography, showing off Tokyo in the style of street photography.
Shinjuku is a major commercial and administrative centre, housing the busiest railway station in the world (Shinjuku Station) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, the administration centre for the government of Tokyo.
It houses Kabukicho, Tokyo's best-known red-light district, renowned for its variety of bars, restaurants as well as the historic ethnic Korean neighborhood of Okubu and Nishi-Shinjuku, The area west of Shinjuku Station, historically known as Yodobashi, is home to Tokyo's largest concentration of skyscrapers.
A view from Tokyo Tower, a communications and observation tower located in the Shiba-koen district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan.
This image was chosen as the colours and shape of the highway almost represents the shape of the tower which was built in 1958, where over 150 million people have visited the tower since its opening.
Robot Restaurant - More of a caberet club than a restaurant, the infamous Robot Restaurant is situated in Kabukicho region of Shinkuku is a must visit for any foreigner. With lots of lights, loud music, lots more lights and a cast of enthusiastic locals in costumes galore, you have to see it to believe it.
Shinjuku Station - The station itself has 36 platforms, including an underground arcade, above ground arcade, numerous hallways, there are well over 200 exits. Another 17 platforms (51 total) can be accessed through hallways to 5 directly connected stations, without surfacing outside. It is considered to be the world's busiest transport hub.
