A stunning 192-page photo book compiled over ten years by renowned photographer Shinya Takahashi.

Takahashi, who has established the original genre of scenic portraits, calls this collection of snapshots his "lifelong passion." This photo book is filled with snapshots capturing the unique atmosphere of seven countries—India, America, Iceland, Thailand, Russia, Indonesia, and Portugal.

The title "IN THE ZONE" is inspired by Takahashi's own words: "As I walk through a country, there are times when I enter 'the zone' and feel compelled to capture the essence of the entire city."

Enjoy numerous works created through Takahashi’s "ad-lib photography," where he instantaneously captures scenes without waiting, focusing on the city as the main character, along with its people, activities, and interplay of light and shadow.

Included throughout are Takahashi's "words," which reflect his thoughts and feelings experienced during his travels in each country.
