Irwin Wong is a photographer based in Tokyo. He is passionate about documenting all aspects of the modern and traditional culture of Japan and is currently working on two books; one is about traditional craftsmanship and the other is about various Japanese subcultures.
Irwin shoots editorial and commercial for clients such as Car Design News, Chivas, Amazon, Forbes, Cathay Pacific, The Washington Post, Red Bull, Nike and the Times Magazine, amongst others.
His long-term goal with his photography is to highlight the beauty and culture of lesser known parts of Japan in order to encourage re-population of those areas.
