About Tokyo Giants Season Visuals Advertisement

Tokyo Giants Season Visuals is a series of photographic posters created for a professional baseball team in Japan. The visuals combine two photographs arranged as continuous scenes, so that still images express the drama of baseball in the manner of a film. The player photographs capture joy, anger and sadness, and are taken from high and unusual angles. The season concept marks the 89th anniversary of the team, as the number 89 means baseball in Japanese. A joint visual of the men's and women's teams expresses the spirit of diversity.
