Tokyo Dark Castle

Tokyo Dark Castle is a Gothic and Industrial underground music event held in Tokyo, Japan. I’ve been to another Gothic underground event called “Midnight Mess” before and I found it a really interesting place to take photos. So when an acquaintance  of mine invited me to the Tokyo Dark Castle event, I thought it would be a good idea to work on my club photography. We arrived at Marz, Shinjuku at 12-ish and there was a short line-up. Most of the guests and patrons were dressed up in goth fashion with crazy make-up. I felt out of place and in fact, I was probably the most normal-looking person there, wearing just my casual attire. I’m not so much a goth person but its a great place to take portraits. There was also a fashion show right in-between the live sets but I wasn’t able to get a close enough spot to get a good shot.

Here are some photos from the night which started at 24:00 and ended at 5:00.

I would say 20-30% of the crowd were foreigners.
