Global sales for book considered a piece of art

The book is a photographic, cyberpunk-inspired exploration of nocturnal Tokyo by Liam Wong, and is published by Thames & Hudson, with global mailing fulfilled by Spatial Global.

Blade Runner Inspired

Liam Wong was born and raised in Scotland, but moved to Canada to become the youngest director at Ubisoft, the video games company behind Assassin’s Creed. He started teaching himself photography when his job took him to Tokyo for the first time. Mainly his images were taken at the regular tourist spots until one evening he took one of a taxi driver waiting for his passengers. The composition reminded him of the cinematography he loved and captured the look of his favourite movies. With only a few social media followers he was surprised when his photo-post of the taxi driver created such a buzz. Encouraged by this feedback, he focused on taking and posting more images like this Blade Runner-esk composition.
