AFTER DARK - Photography by Liam Wong. A salaryman stands on an empty train platform in Akihabara, Tokyo. In front of him is one of the worlds largest electronic stores. He stands there holding a briefcase, illuminated by the overhead halogen station platform lamps. He looks small in the frame, showing off the verticality of the metropolis.

AFTER DARK - Photography by Liam Wong. A salaryman stands in the rain holding an umbrella, lit up by the restaurant behind him. Shades of yellow and blue are in the image. Only his silhouette is visible. He stands to the right of the frame. The left half of the frame is dark in contrast to the light on the right with small lanterns reflecting on to the road infront of him.

Photography by Liam Wong of Tokyo at night. Shibuya at night. A train zooms by and is frozen in motion. A large LED screen lights up the background on a tall building in an bold orange stripe. The image is mostly teal.

Photography by Liam Wong of Tokyo at night. Akihabara - Electric Town - at night. Many people, as many as 20-30 silhouettes stand waiting to cross the road in the Anime district. Neon signs reflect and fill the frame. Behind them is a store selling pharmacy goods: Matsumoto KiYoshi. The image is dark with warm tones, the neon signs are red.

Photographs by Liam Wong of Kyoto in the early hours. Old wooden Japanese traditional buildings. The camera is capturing the scene from ground level, looking up - the blue sky is cut up by the silhouette of an overhead powerline. The image is a cold blue tone.

Photographs by Liam Wong of Kyoto at night. A large stairway leading upwards next to an old wooden traditional Japanese building. The image is moody to emphasise the emptiness with brown and blue shades. Towards the top right of the image, the stairway ends and is lit up, with trees overhanging.
