Yoshihiko Wada: The City of Juncture

Yoshihiko Wada: The City of Juncture

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2025

“The city of juncture” is focusing on the unique Japanese junctions’ scenery in urban area especially in Tokyo and Osaka. Since those huge structures were built a lot in urban areas with limited space in order to organizing traffic, we have an advantage to see them at very close distance; some of them have very unique intertwined exteriors. That’s why they’ve been captivating many Japanese photographers, who can find them as unique photogenic subjects, which have many curves, lines, decayed metals and pipes.

“Junction nightscape” is much beautiful and popular than capturing them during the day time. However during the night, those glaring lights and deep shadows were just obstacles to capture the genuine structures. Rather using day time long exposure technique is preferable way for focusing the subjects; eliminating moving objects, vehicles and pedestrians. Plus panorama technique can capture wide surroundings atmosphere with much less distortion instead of using wide angle lenses.
