2019 is the 6th year that Japanese photographer RK
has photographed cities
But he really did not expect that
would become popular on Instagram because of a group of photos of Chinese cities. Magical mountain city
—a beautiful picture of Chongqing
I have seen a lot of cities
so ups and downs
A city that is growing in all directions
Adding a magic
I am amazed by many foreign friends
I have seen a lot of the calm atmosphere of the Forbidden City
It turns out that China can also be so cool? !
RK used his unique futuristic style
took pictures of the familiar and unfamiliar side of Chongqing
Even the local aborigines
can’t seem to tell where
’s photo was taken
I really know it Chongqing?
The second city
is Chongqing’s old neighbor Chengdu
Compared to the mountain city’s cyberpunk feel
Chengdu is dressed in a layer of traditional Chinese clothes
It’s full of Chinese red
plus the unique customs of ethnic minorities in the west
Pure The Chinese flavor
made Chengdu perform very well
went to Hong Kong
RK did not abandon the Hong Kong-style Chinese style
by the way added here
unique fashion flavor
only Hong Kong
can interpret the "tradition" so cool
Taipei is even more so Full of
futuristic and sci-fi sense
The light beam suddenly launched in the middle of the old street
The laser rotating on the old building
The new and the old
collided with different sparks
I saw a "steel giant "—airplane
Flying low over the temple
is as unreal as a game world
RK took this group of photographs
for Chongqing, Chengdu, Hong Kong and Taipei
let the world see a different China:
it is cool, it is more Beautiful
But we
miss too much ordinary beauty in our busy life
Other photographers always like "minimalism"
RK but want to squeeze the picture to the full when
As the influence of RK increases
unexpectedly also derived a specialized genre of photography
dense (dense)
this genre
specializes in capturing the crowdedness of urban life in Asia
the high speed of traffic
the dwellings with extremely high population density
are their favorite shooting subjects
people always think that crowding is embarrassing
in In the eyes of an artist
but who would have thought that
created a genre of photographer
was originally a DJ
music and photography
seems irrelevant
became
in the creation of RK the same Cool art game
But being able to enter into photography
is still thanks to RK’s design foundation
Born in Tokyo in 1982, RK
has been fond of design since he was a child
In his 20s, after graduating from an art university,
has been doing art design work in his country all year round
So the pursuit of order and law in photography has also become RK's obsession Saying
What’s interesting is that
RK really started taking pictures
was to lose weight
In order to get rid of the fat from his house
RK joined the Tokyo City Running Team
insisted on jogging and shuttling in various streets every day
While exercising,
RK discovered that the city streets were always paid attention to
, but no one noticed its ordinary and unique beauty. Just hold up your own iPhone
to take pictures of the running scene
Although there is a design foundation
Photography is still a new technology
RK has invested hundreds of days and nights
just to study photography technology and image post-processing
Unexpectedly, in 2014

He began to use SLR
to keep chasing more exquisite pictures
His photography is not only about composition and tone
It is also about telling the moment The story of
for this reason
he can hold several kilograms of photographic equipment
and squat in one place for several hours
Once he captures the light and shadow he wants, he is ecstatic:
I am only fascinated by this moment
RK firmly believes that
must know What a country looks like
depends on what its city streets look like
He first took pictures of the streets of Tokyo
That was his hometown
Every city
has lively roads and crowded people
Every city Every city
has a watchful window and a waiting gaze

because there are people they love
