Shibuya Crossing

There are thousands of great pictures of Shibuya Scramble Crossing from above so I wanted to do something a little different. I set up my camera so that it would focus on anything 2 to 5 meters in front of me. Walking through the crowd with my camera against my body, I shot many frames without looking through the camera. The result is a random assortment of crooked and out of focus photos but also a few fun candid shots. They look cinematic to me, almost like movie stills. I like black and white for people photos.

Here is a video I made of Shibuya Crossing with my iPhone today…it is not even that busy, it gets much thicker than this.

These are the best of the pictures:

Even though some photos are out of focus, they still capture the emotion and energy of the scene.

One of the best shots: three high school girls in their uniforms, wearing tiaras. I love this one.
Lots of tourists like me taking lots of pictures of everyone scrambling through Shibuya Crossing.

This girl looks so cool, like she has somewhere important to be.

      My favourite too. You have to take 100 photos to get one like that.
