TO:KY:OO - Liam Wong
This is it! Copies of Liam Wong's book TO:KY:OO are super rare - this book is the fulfillment of your cyberpunk'ish dreams of neo-futuristic metropolis Tokyo 2020.
Featuring evocative and stunning color photographs of contemporary Tokyo, this book brings together the images of the exciting new photographic talent, Liam Wong. Born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, Wong studied computer arts in college and, by the time he was twenty-five, was living in Canada and working as a director at one of the worlds leading video game companies. His job took him to Tokyo for the first time, where he discovered the ethereality of floating worlds and the lurid allure of Tokyo's nocturnal scenes.
"I got lost in the beauty of Tokyo at night", he explains. A testament to the deep art of color composition, this publication brings together a refined body of images that are evocative, timeless, and completely transporting. This volume also features Wong's creative and technical processes, including identifying the right scene, capturing the essence of a moment, and methods to enhance color values - insights that are invaluable to admirers and photography students alike.
