1995, 1st Edition, Little More, Tokyo Japan

Takashi Homma (born 1962) is a Japanese photographer born and based in Tokyo. He studied photography at Nihon University College of Art, and left in 1984 to take a job as an in-house photographer at a Tokyo advertising agency. In 1991 he moved to London for two years to work as a photographer for i-D Magazine.

Homma’s work examines the nuances of Tokyo’s suburban districts, its urban centre, its surrounding landscapes, and its people. Homma's pictures tell a tender and discreet story of Tokyo discourse. He observes and documents sterile contemporary architecture, well-groomed highways, hidden rooftop gardens, desolate chain restaurants, quiet car parks, stray teenagers, children at play, objects in a home, snow-capped mountains and hypnotic seas.

Babyland is Homma’s first published photography book, which seems to get overlooked quite often. The photo’s he gathered for this book highlights many of the things people love about Homma’s photography: subtle, yet full of emotion and life.
