Now Is Now Tokyo: Street Photography

Palka, Lukasz: - Born in Poland, raised in the U.S., and living in Tokyo since 2008, Lukasz Palka is an urban photographer focused on the layered complexity of the Tokyo Metropolis. His work spans street photography, urban landscapes, and urbex, capturing the city as a living organism -- vibrant, chaotic, and endlessly compelling. Drawing inspiration from photography legends like Eggleston, Leiter, and Webb, as well as cyberpunk visions such as Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, Palka explores Tokyo as both reality and constructed dream, documenting its stories through light, shadow, and concrete. His photo book Tokyo Unseen was published by teNeues in 2023.
