Author Name
Richard Koek (Author)
Dutch-Argentinian photographer, Richard Koek, is a visual poet who shares his love for New York City and Tokyo by celebrating the people who live and work there daily. His sensibility for a complicated street life in these cities surfaces in his images. Instead of the well-known “decisive moment,” Koek invites his viewers to form their own interpretation of his work by focusing on the concept of commonplace beauty and the connection it makes with our authentic selves. Richard Koek (Ilpendam 1965) gave up practicing tax law to move to New York City and pursue his passion. His photographs are in collections world-wide including the National Archives of Holland, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Royal Tropical Institute of Amsterdam. His first book NEW YORK NEW YORK was published by Lannno Publishers in 2018, followed by a second edition of the book in 2021. Koek works for various international publications, companies and non-profit organizations. He lives in NYC with Ivy and his daughter Skylar. Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Photographic portrait of the Japanese ever-changing capitalJapan – and with it Tokyo – has been a popular travel destination for many yearsFrom the photographer of the successful photo book New York New YorkFor lovers of urban photography where people are the protagonists A unique book by photographer Richard Koek about one of the world's largest cities, Tokyo. The visitor of this megapolis in Japan will see a lot of neon and plastic, but also traditional kimonos and cherry blossoms.

Fashion and advertising are at least as important as etiquette and tidiness. In Tokyo Tokyo Koek reveals the true face of a city where tradition and innovation go hand in hand.

Surely the stereotypes are a subject of his photographs, but Koek always gives them his own twist. His colourful images are raw, realistic and extremely striking.

Koek knows how to capture the magic of everyday life by putting the ordinary on a pedestal. The beauty of the image and the story behind it always go hand in hand in his works.

This is how he shows a different side of the city. .
