About

My name is Ivan Doherty and I have been a photographer for over 20 years and been shooting semi-professionally for the last 6 years. Based in Tokyo, the paid work involves primarily events which range from weddings, fashion to sporting events and increasingly guided photo-walks around this amazing city. I have been in Japan for 19 years and know the city’s streets very well.

In Tokyo, one can always be taken by surprise with what you see even after many years, there is never time to get bored in this fast paced city. What I love about shooting here is the difference you see as the city transforms from day into night and the rich opportunity to create vivid photos, which I like to do. In 2017 I won an award for a cityscape shot with the Asahi Shimbun Newspaper’s national annual photography awards. (daily readership 6.5 million)
