I spent a month on photography work in Tokyo and had an unforgettable time exploring the unique culture and chaotic streets of the city in my spare time. While Tokyo has the skyscrapers, lights, and millions of people running around everywhere, just like it’s famous for, one of my favorite parts was the different neighborhoods it has too, each with its own vibe and character. Also, when it comes to people watching, it doesn’t get any better than here.
Tokyo is definitely a city I could live in and spend my days photographing its endless streets of life and lights. A month gave me some time to explore, but with so much to see and experience, I’d love to spend much more time in Tokyo in the future. Here’s 33 Street Photography photos I took in my spare time during my busy month in Tokyo.

William Eggleston (1939-present)
American photographer who is widely considered a pioneer of color photography and the person who helped make it a legitimate medium to display in art galleries.
I recently stopped in Russia for a couple of weeks to visit some friends and to work on a small photography project with The Royal School of Russian Ballet. While I stayed pretty busy, mostly having an incredible time with friends, I did manage to make time for a little Street Photography in Saint-Petersburg and Moscow.
Saint-Petersburg has a magical feeling and I highly recommend adding it to your travel list. The architecture is beautiful and the canals throughout the city add to the European fairytale vibe. While they are both very large cities, Moscow definitely has much more of a big city cosmopolitan vibe.
I had an amazing time in Russia. It’s a unique place with plenty to experience and I’d love to visit again to really focus on Street Photography. Here’s 33 Street Photography photos I took in my spare time during my busy, but incredible 2 weeks in Russia.

*City Street Profiles is a series of guides on shooting Street Photography in cities across the world. One of the biggest things I found lacking on the internet was Street Photography info for specific cities so you can be ready to shoot when traveling to a new city. Find the best spots to shoot, what to capture, safety concerns, street tips, and more for cities around the world. (I have personally shot Street Photography in every city that I create a guide for)
