I'M DAVE

I am the photographer behind ShootTokyo.   Welcome to my home on the web!  I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts but my professional life has lead me from Boston to New York City, Singapore finally landing me in Tokyo, Japan in 2001. I live in the heart of Tokyo.

Dave Powell ShootTokyo

I'm passionate about a lot of things in life as you will learn from reading my ShootTokyo.  Photography is on on-going passion and is the basis of this blog.   I am currently learning guitar and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You can easily engage me in a conversation on any of these topics for hours.

I work in Entertainment and previous Technology, and was lucky enough to have a job that allowed me to travel around the world.  Lately, I’m not traveling much and enjoy staying put in Tokyo. The combination of my love for photography coupled with my frequent travels and bias for technology make a blog a logical and rewarding hobby for me.

There are more than 900 posts contains within ShootTokyo of my favorite places in Tokyo, my travels or musing on photography, business and life.    I often get emailed about what cameras I use, how I edit my images, what settings I use or where the best place is to shoot in Tokyo. If you are new here I suggest you start here to see all that site has to offer. 

This is a friendly place so feel free to engage, share, ask questions or just watch quietly from the shadows.   I collaborated with my friends at SmugMug.  Watch this video to get a feel for what ShootTokyo is all about.
