Description of book: SHIBUYA is about the people of Tokyo finding their way in the big city. Although it was made using the methods of traditional street photography, I think of SHIBUYA as a book of portraits. Rather than wait for “the decisive moment,” my aim was to capture “the decisive glance” from faces of strangers seen once before they were lost forever in the crowd.
The best thing about self-publishing: Constant giggles throughout the day and sometimes even in the middle of the night.

Book Soundtrack: This insanely infectious Pocky commercial was played on the jumbo screens around Shibuya crossing every five minutes, so it’s quite literally the soundtrack to the work:
