Photo book introduction

This 192-page collection of travel snapshots taken by photographer Shinya Takahashi over a period of about 10 years.

Takahashi, who established the original genre of landscape portraits, says that snapshots are "my favorite and my life's work." This photobook is packed with snapshots that capture the "atmosphere of each place" that he felt while traveling to seven countries: India, America, Iceland, Thailand, Russia, Indonesia, and Portugal.

The title "IN THE ZONE" comes from a word Takahashi said: "When I walk around and look at the country, I sometimes get into the zone and want to capture the whole city."

With the city as the main focus, Takahashi's works focus on the people, activities, and light and shadow that blend into the city, and he creates a variety of works that are created through his "improvisational photography" style, in which he cuts out the scene instantly, without waiting for the right moment.

Takahashi's thoughts at the time of the shoot and his words that he felt while traveling around the country are scattered throughout the film.
