Tokyo Tsukiji

Working for over two years, I chose to capture the essence of Tsukiji fish market, one of the most iconic spots of the Japanese capital.
I wanted to catch the atmosphere of my favourite moment of the day, just before the market closes.

Traders hurriedly prepare the last few goods, cleaning their tools or having a solitary snack, eyes drooping momentarily. My subjects are taken while laying spontaneously, in order to capture true glimpses of life,
and to uncover the borderline between the emptying market and the life waiting outside.
