Japan
Simultaneously gracious and private, Japan can be an enigmatic place to capture in photographs. Modern architecture towers over ancient temples, trend-setting fashions rub shoulders with traditional silk kimonos in fashionable areas, bullet trains race through rice fields, dense forests give way to sometimes-characterless suburban sprawl. Images in this collection were photographed over eight years in many seasons and locations. Despite so much love, Japan remains both elusive and intriguing.
