The neon trend may not garner the same interest it once did: we can’t blame those who think this trend has become overdone. But with the right idea and great execution, it can still net some really interesting work. Case in point is the cyberpunk imagery largely inspired by movies like Blade Runner. We’ve seen some really impressive ones in the past and we’re glad to add one more to the list. This time, it’s a re-imagining of Japan by Swiss fine art photographer Stefano Gardel.

The first time we saw Gardel making great work with neon aesthetics, he used a subtle neon pink to add a touch of surreal mood to his desert scenes. In his series titled Neon Future, however, he goes full-on cyberpunk with all the vibrant colors in his re-imagining of Japan. It’s not surprising he chose to traverse between Tokyo and Osaka to bring this idea to life: Japan is one of the inspirations behind the cyberpunk sci-fi subgenre.
