#2This artist is just using the subject matter to explore his love of a filtering method that seems to involve reducing the the dynamic range, as well as the color space to blues and oranges.

#3There are so many layers of post production on these photos I'd barely call them photographs any more. Especially the flares around the lights: no distortion even on the edges, all of them look uniform, even if they come from different light sources...
EDIT That said, kudos for the patience, it takes a long while to acquire the source material.
EDIT2 As art, it's good work. But this is not what I'd label photography.
EDIT3 img { display: block; max-height: 98vh; max-width: 100%; width:auto; height:auto; margin: 0 auto; } helps a lot to auto-size images for max height of the display.

This happens with some lenses at long exposures. There's not much done to these outside of the odd comp, but mainly a 'HDR' style grading. Good stuff, and relatively simple. Just looks intense!

No, it does not happen like this. Happens with _some_ light source, from _some_ angles. Barely ever on the edge of the lens and never without distortion there.

They're not bad but essentially say little about the city and its inhabitants. Insight has been replaced by stereotype, real figures by mock superheroes, real context by staged drama: we don't even know if the repeat subject is Japanese. That said, there's some cute tricks with light and composition. The sort of thing you'd buy if you're a merchant of attention tangents.

#8I didn't even have to open the link to know this would be another set of Blade Runner-esque shots of city neon. This style is so ubiquitous it's practically a meme at this point.

#9As someone who knows nothing about photography, I thought the pics looked pretty cool.

#10It seems like photographers nowadays are only capable of portraying eastern Asia in one way: rainy alleyways, streets, and taxies at night, splitoned lazily to complementary colors in Lightroom. It takes maybe five minutes to create these pictures and they're done to death at this point.
