Tokyo Gradients

Photography by Liam. Train headlights pierce a lattice of blackened rails and power lines, silhouetted against a fading palette of violet and ember-orange twilight, while Mount Fuji rests faintly on the horizon in the center of the frame in the distance obscured by overhead wires.

Tokyo rooftops dissolve into shadow beneath a gradient of peach and violet, the skyline reduced to quiet silhouettes against the (colourful) dying light.

An emerald supermarket sign glows alone in a wide panoramic photograph, a large electric wire cuts through the frame in front of the electric-blue dusk that fades into a warm horizon glow.

Lawson convenience store lights spill into a narrow alley as a distant Mount Fuji emerges in silhouette, framed by shadows and a smoldering sunset sky cut by overhead wires and signs.

Tokyo after dark

Photography by Liam. A fog-shrouded Tokyo high-rise glows with cool blue office lights in the background while a utility pole and electrical transformer dominate the foreground. The scene has mist softening the building’s curved silhouette and creates a quiet, futuristic atmosphere.

A glowing clock appears suspended in dense fog between dark office buildings in Tokyo. The illuminated hands indicate approximately 2:55, and the clock face belongs to the NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building, whose structure is largely obscured by mist. The blue-toned scene creates a surreal nighttime atmosphere.

An empty Tokyo residential street descends into the distance under a row of white streetlights. Industrial walls, utility poles, and neatly trimmed trees line the wet pavement, emphasizing the stillness of the city.

A streetlight mounted on a utility pole glows against a dark blue night sky. In the background, a fog-covered high-rise with scattered illuminated windows fades into the mist, while overhead cables crisscross the scene.

The Weeknd in Munich 📸

Photography by Liam. A towering gold chrome robot sculpture by Hajime Sorayama dominates the stage at The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn show in Munich. A lone figure stands at its feet, emphasizing the immense scale, while the glowing white backdrop silhouettes the futuristic artwork against a ruined cityscape set.

Tokyo flow

A solitary commuter stands motionless beneath cold blue station lights as a train streaks past in a blur of steel and lights. The platform feels suspended between departures and destinations, a quiet pause in Tokyo’s endless motion.

Three strangers occupy the platform like separate stories sharing the same frame. Bathed in electric blue light, they wait in silence while the city hums around them, connected only by the rhythm of the tracks.

Train doors slide open to reveal a wall of faces frozen in anticipation, the train is full. Office workers spill into the light, each carrying their own destination.

The station transforms into a living current of silhouettes and briefcases flowing through a sea of blue light. Individual identities dissolve into movement, turning the platform into a cinematic portrait of Tokyo’s pulse.

Midgar in real life.

Photography by Liam: An emerald-lit industrial labyrinth rises through the fog, evoking the endless reactors and steel canyons of Midgar, a location in the video game Final Fantasy 7. A lone silhouette stands before the glowing machinery, dwarfed by a city built to consume the night.

Turquoise steam pours from towering refinery stacks like Mako energy escaping a reactor core (in the video game Final Fantasy 7). Catwalks and pipes disappear into the haze, transforming the factory into a cyberpunk cathedral of light and steel.

Seen through a cage of black girders, luminous towers burn in the darkness. The scene feels like a hidden sector beneath Midgar, where machinery breathes and shadows swallow entire worlds.

Columns of teal light cut through drifting vapor above an industrial skyline.

Osaka after dark

Photography by Liam all featuring double exposures. Two police officers cycle through the middle of the frame in a lantern-lit Osaka alley, disappearing into a tunnel of neon and shadow, while a black cat slips quietly along the left edge of the frame beneath the city’s midnight glow.

An empty Japanese arcade stretches into the distance beneath glowing lanterns and vintage signage, its quiet stillness feeling frozen between midnight and dawn.

Kamurochō after dark: polygons & photography

Virtual photography by Liam: Neon-soaked streets of Kamurocho glow beneath a canopy of signs, their reflections pooling across wet asphalt as a lone figure walks through the midnight blue haze. Captured in SEGA’s video game franchise: Yakuza.

A solitary pair of legs stands at the edge of a rain-filled puddle, where electric magenta and gold signage melts into a painterly reflection on the street.

A quiet 3D environment, a backstreet lined with glowing shopfronts and late-night eateries, where pink neon reflections guide a lone pedestrian through the heart of Kamurocho.

Subways after dark: London, Tokyo, Warsaw & Rome.

London : Station entrance of Piccadilly Circus, glowing in deep indigo shadows, stairs leading downwards drawing the eye into a quiet urban underworld.

Tokyo: A lone figure descends into violet-blue subway light in Shinjuku, framed by geometric tiles and cinematic contrast. The colored light is achieved by a plastic gel over the flash on the camera.

Warsaw: Electric-blue escalator tunnel stretching into infinity, illuminated like a futuristic corridor of stars. A man descends the escalators on the far right of the frame. The image is captured on a wide angle lens to exaggerate the lighting. It is framed with perfect symmetry: the silhouette of the man breaks it up.

Rome: Emerald-tinted metro staircase beneath fluorescent light, the image is angled looking upwards at the stairs, evoking a moody late-night cityscape. The sign overhead reads “uscita”.

Tokyo

Modern cylindrical structure in Tokyo under a vivid sky, with metallic surfaces and glass reflections.

Tokyo railway platform in moody cyan-blue light, with dark tracks and desaturated blue-tinted buildings, the color grading emphasizing a cinematic feeling of emptiness and introspection.

Tokyo’s Sangenjaya neighbourhood through my lens: the real-life inspiration for Persona 5’s Yongen-Jaya 📸

Image 1 : Narrow residential alley in Sangenjaya at dusk, with a glowing pink snack bar sign, bicycles parked along the street, and blue-purple evening light creating a quiet urban atmosphere. Cafe Le Blanc in game.

Image 2: Corrugated metal entrance leading into a narrow Sangenjaya side street, illuminated by warm ambient lighting and framed by weathered industrial textures. The entrance for the laundromat in Persona.

Image 3: Small neighborhood laundromat in Sangenjaya, featuring rows of washing machines, large dryers, vending machines, and warm fluorescent lighting against cool blue window reflections. Iconic location in Persona which is almost 1:1.

Image 4: Yellow-tiled staircase descending into a Tokyo subway station : Sangenjaya, with directional arrows on the steps and a lone commuter walking below.
