SHOWCASE

25 April 2022
The Streets of Tokyo
Photographer:
Adam Benedicto
Country:
Japan
Description:
These photos were taken mostly around the Shinjuku area of Tokyo over the past 5 years. Some show a stylised view of the scenes I photographed, which depict a feeling I have for city life. Others feature reflections and distortions which I find mirror the way we perceive our own reality in some small way. I have tried to show some range in style in this selection, within a look that I am developing. I hope they would be an appropriate fit for Frame Tokyo.
Biography:
My father gave me a camera when I was a teenager and encouraged me to take photos. Initially I enjoyed photographing nature and landscape when on holiday away from London. But as I got more into photography I realised it was easier to photograph what was nearby and accessible to me, so I began doing street photography. I started street photography around 5 years ago and have done it alongside my other main interest which is DJing. Although I’ve been taking photos regularly since starting street photography I could never really find a style or expression that I was completely satisfied with. I was more interested in the process of going out and taking photos but then struggled when it came to editing the work. These days I feel more comfortable with the look of my photos and have become more confident in my output. Therefore my desire to share them with a wider audience has increased. I am always looking to grow and evolve in my artistic output so I would love to hear some thoughts on the photos I have included, positive or negative! Thank you for your time and opportunity here.
