    About this ebook

    TOKYO FROM THE HIP a Photography Book by JULIAN BOUND

     

    From National Geographic contributor and award winning documentary photographer Julian Bound, a photography book capturing the city of Tokyo, using the photographic technique of 'from the hip' photography with all photographs taken from the waist and with no use of view finder or display screen.

     

    A photographic journey through the traditional and ultramodern urban streets of the Japanese capital, Tokyo from award winning documentary photographer Julian Bound. From calming shrines, temples and parks to neon lit skyscrapers, it is this mixture of old and new which gives Tokyo its world uniqueness, where Shinjuku's neon flashes act as bait to those seeking the city's nightlife, Takeshita Street's pedestrian walkway is lined with the latest creations from Japanese fashion houses, and the peacefulness of Yoyogi Park is home to over 100,000 trees from all regions across Japan, the sacred Meiji Shrine located at its heart amongst the forested area.

     

    All these sights are accompanied by the element which gives Tokyo its individuality and exclusive quality; this is that of the tranquillity that hangs in the air above the Japanese capital.
