This was the taken the day after our Nov 2019 Japan Photography Tour finished. Some of our clients had a day to fill in before their evening flight and a few of them had been to Shinjuku before our tour began and were keen to go back to the area and share some of their favourite spots.
So that’s how we ended up in one of the busiest wards of Tokyo. Shinjuku is a major commercial and administrative centre with lots of people. Our group of five were looking down from the movie theatre area of Shinjuku.
It was a very busy scene and I made it feel even busier by multiple exposing the image five times. Changing the camera angle between each frame as I went.
What makes this image special to me was that in the first frame the sign on the left towards the bottom of the frame was lit, then it changed to dark tones. This gave a place where the eye could rest.
I also like the abstract shape that can be found in the high tones that travel down the street.
