Tokyo stands out as one of the most memorable trips I’ve taken. The frenetic pulse of the city is overwhelming for most people, more so for a jet lagged person stepping off a 16 hour flight from New York.

While getting completely lost multiple times attempting to navigating the streets and subway system, I realized that being disoriented strongly improved my creative output and approach to candid photography. I found myself in unexpected places observing life in areas outside the main touristic spots.

Here are some of my favorite images from that trip. All images shot on iPhone except one. Can you guess which one?
