Nihon Noir: Photo Series by Tom Blachford
Published May 25, 2020
‘Nihon Noir’ is a gorgeous series of fine art photographs that arose from Tom Blachford‘s fascination with Tokyo and his desire to translate the feeling that struck him on his first visit.
“…somehow you have been transported to a parallel future where everything is more alien than familiar.”
“Pronounced Nee-Honn, the word simply means ‘Japan’ as a nation and together with Noir creates a play on the Neon Noir genre of film that inspired the aesthetic of the series, particularly the seminal classic Blade Runner and the later work of Nicholas Winding-Refn (Drive, Only God Forgives).”
— Tom Blachford
