Hi,

I’m Ondray `Draycat` Holness. I was born in Birmingham, UK, but now I live and work in Tokyo, Japan.

I came to photography later in life but in the rich and sometimes crazy environment of Tokyo my photography is becoming more prolific. My photographic work extends into many fields, but my biggest passion is photographing people in their natural environment.  I love being able to bring out the more natural side of situations – those moments when people forget about the camera and just be themselves. As a result I can often be seen shooting street or portrait photography in the streets of Tokyo – an abounding source of material, context and inspiration. My street photography tends to focus on real people going about their lives, rather than more often seen cosplay Harajuku girls.

As well as taking photographs, I also teach and write.

I have just started a daily Tokyo Photo Blog on Facebook so please take a look. Click on ‘like’ at the top of the page to ensure you get the daily updates: Facebook Daily Photo Blog

If you would like to commission me for a shoot or are just interested in my work then feel free to contact me by emailing me at the address below.  You can also leave a comment in my guestbook as it’s always nice to know who came by.
