Hello! My name is Alex Abian and I’m a Photographer and writer based in Tokyo.

This project is born out of a deep passion for showcasing the fascinating people and places I've encountered along my journey. I wanted to have the freedom to be creative and choose my own subjects, without being bound by external constraints. Although client work can be fulfilling, it doesn't always allow for full artistic expression or creative control. I craved the ability to make decisions, uncover hidden locations, and explore my subjects fully.

Moreover, I aimed to improve my writing skills and dive deeper into the emotional spaces that interviewing people can offer. I wanted to share the remarkable nature of individuals and highlight the unsung heroes that exist in our world. With so much negativity in the news, it's important to showcase the incredible people who are making a difference in their own unique way.

Lastly, I have an insatiable curiosity to explore and uncover the world around me. There are countless untold stories waiting to be discovered, and I want to take you on a long-term journey of exploration and discovery.

I invite you to join me on this journey and see the world in a whole new light.
