I wanted to do something to the Harajuku photographs that would make them focus more on the fashion elements, colours and patterns that hold unique elements for each Harajuku individual. The resulting designs will be featured in an upcoming book.

One of the coolest characters I saw in Harajuku square. This girl and her boyfriend ( previewing soon ) had a certain air about them that elevated them to another level. Stay tuned for an illustrated backdrop that combines this photograph with elements that owe a lot to Edgar Alan Poe.

I love the contrast in these girls.
One is so intense and the other looks like she’s about to fall asleep.

This guy looks like he could hunt vampires for a living.

Pink dress, candy colours and a coy look that’s so over the top it’s great.

I tried to convince these girls to engage with the camera, but all I got were giggles and indifference
So I cheekily took this shot, politely thanked them and moved on.

It seems that the Harajuku scene has competition from a rather unlikely source. Traditional japanese clothing is making a comeback.
Great video on YouTube featuring Harajuku kids hanging out in the square near Yoyogi Park.
