Japan has some of the world's most interesting youth culture, and we're collecting photographers' photos and ideas about its original music, fashion, art and street scenes and how they photograph them.
Each photographer will show one large signed print, which will be voted for by the audience and auctioned to raise money for ISEP's green energy charity. Some of the photographers, (including Herbie Yamaguchi, Mark Oxley and dozens more) will also give talks with slideshows of their other images in presentation spaces at the venue. The event will also include some DJs, booths, displays and presentations from organizations supporting photographers in Japan. (More information:
