Tokyo Photography Guide (original)

Overview Tokyo is a city of contrasts: neon-lit skyscrapers, serene temples, cramped alleyways, layered neighborhoods, and hyper-ordered public life. Shoot for color, texture, and the interplay between people and built spaces. Move between wide urban vistas and intimate street-level moments.

• Reflections: puddles, shop windows, and building glass create layered images—use polarizer selectively.
• Framing: use doorways, gates, and bridges to frame subjects.
• Leading lines: railings, streets, and train tracks guide the eye.
• Motion: slow shutter for traffic/street movement, or pan with cyclists/train for dynamic blur.
• Color: emphasize neon and signage hues in post—avoid clipping highlights in HDR blending.
• Minimalism: Tokyo has quiet corners; isolate subjects against negative space for impact.
• Street portrait approach: smile, quick intro in Japanese (simple phrase: "写真を撮ってもいいですか？" — "May I take your photo?"), show the result on your camera as thanks.
