Takeshi Shinoda

Photobooks by Takeshi Shinoda (篠田烈), a Japanese photographer known for atmospheric black-and-white studies of urban and architectural subjects. Published by Sokyusha. Dispatched from Germany.

Takeshi Shinoda (篠田烈) is a Japanese photographer working primarily in black-and-white, with a sustained focus on urban and architectural subjects. This collection brings together his photobooks available through Lokator100, an independent bookstore based in Germany.

Shinoda's work sits within a tradition of Japanese photography that treats the photobook as a considered object rather than a secondary document. His titles are published by Sokyusha, an independent Japanese publisher with a strong record in photography. The relationship between photographer and publisher is close, and the books reflect that — precise in sequencing, restrained in design.

Currently available in this collection: Im Treibhaus - Takeshi Shinoda, a work focused on Tokyo's greenhouse spaces. Further titles by Shinoda and related photographers can be found in the broader Photobooks section of the catalogue.
