Sapporo Clock Tower Night Street Fall Colors Japan | Limited Edition of 10
Historic Clock Tower Lit Against Autumn Street At Night
This is one of those scenes that stops me mid-step, not because it’s dramatic in scale, but because everything quietly comes together. The Sapporo Clock Tower rises out of the darkness, lit with a warm, almost nostalgic glow that contrasts sharply against the deep shadows of the surrounding street. The structure itself feels rooted in another time—brick, wood, and symmetry—standing steady while the city moves around it.
What pulled me in here was the balance between light and stillness. The illuminated clock face becomes the focal point, but it’s not overpowering. It sits naturally within the architecture, framed by the upper-level windows and subtle detailing. Below, the street is damp, catching reflections from nearby lights, adding a second layer of texture that grounds the image. It’s quiet, but not empty—there’s a sense that the city is just beyond the edges, continuing while this corner holds its own pace.
The fall colours bring another dimension. On the left, the deep reds feel saturated and alive, while the trees on the right fade into shadow, creating a natural frame that pulls the eye inward. It’s not a perfect symmetry, and that’s exactly what makes it work. There’s tension, contrast, and a kind of visual rhythm that feels honest rather than staged.
I photographed this on location in Sapporo, walking through the city at night, letting the light guide me rather than searching for anything specific. This wasn’t planned—it was found. That’s always where the strongest images come from for me, moments where everything aligns just long enough to capture it as it exists.
Each limited-edition print is personally signed and includes a certificate of authenticity, confirming that it is a real photograph taken in a real place, not something constructed. It’s printed using archival pigment inks on museum-quality paper, built to hold the depth and subtle colour transitions you see here.
This piece works well in spaces where you want warmth without losing depth—living rooms, offices, or even darker interiors where the glow of the tower can carry the room. It has presence, but it doesn’t overwhelm. It invites you in slowly.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
