Angles

A low-angle, upward-looking photo of Tokyo Tower taken from directly below. The tower's bright red steel lattice framework dominates the frame, with diagonal crossbeams creating a dense geometric pattern that narrows toward the top. An observation deck and the tower's white-and-red upper section are visible near the top of the image. The background is a clear, cloudless blue sky.

Shooting from directly below was something I wanted to try to make the tower feel like it was collapsing toward me. Standing at the base and pointing straight up turned the steel framework into this pattern of repeating diagonals that just pulls your eye all the way to the top. I also liked how the angle made the scale feel way more intense than it does from a distance — up close it’s almost overwhelming.
