Nguan’s self-published photo book SHIBUYA

我们的朋友,新加坡摄影师Nguan查看他的访谈)给我寄来了自己出版的摄影集《SHIBUYA》。这本摄影书集结了他在2008年至2010年间拍摄于东京涉谷地铁站附近的“肖像”作品。

Our friend, Singapore photographer Nguan (see his interview) published a photo book SHIBUYA by himself. SHIBUYA is a collection of candid “portraits” take in the vicinity of Tokyo’s Shibuya station, one of Japan’s busiest transportation hubs where traffic surpasses two million citizens on a typical weekday. The photographs in this book were made between 2008 and 2010, a deeply unnerving time when news of stabbing sprees, banking collapses and flu pandemics rattled the local populace. In an uncertain age even the daily commute can seem fraught with trails. This book depicts Shibuya’s itinerant souls going about their journey, aided only by the possibly magical kawaii charms dangling from their cell phones.
