TOKYO STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL 25
The TOKYO STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL (TSPF) was first held in May 2023, welcoming 52 photographers from 10 countries and achieving great success. In its second edition in 2024, the festival expanded to feature 63 photographers from 12 countries, attracting an even larger audience of 400–500 visitors.

TSPF Concept
The concept of TSPF is “to maximize the appeal and value of street photography by soliciting a wide range of work, and create a dialogue among photographers and with visitors to create a sustainable cultural community.”
With the aim to convey the diverse and unique esthetic of street photography, TSPF will host a wide variety of street photographers across borders reflecting diverse perspectives and cultural backgrounds, as well as unique works from all over Japan.
We also believe that photography is not only about the photographer, but also about the viewer and the people being photographed. To embody this philosophy, we will make TSPF a place which functions as a cultural community, where photographers and visitors enjoy communicating through the medium of photographs. To make the festival a sustainable cultural community, we will also enrich the content of the festival beyond the photographic exhibits with a focus on “seeing”, “listening”, “talking”, and “having fun”, and are planning to update the program little by little every year.
