Gold Panda has published a photo book with photographer and friend Laura Lewis.

The hard-cover book, titled ‘Good Luck And Do Your Best’, is a collaborative effort that documents the pairs travels through Japan back in 2014. The book is the visual counterpart to his most recent musical project of the same name, which was released earlier in the year.

Speaking on the project, Gold Panda writes “in 2014 I was introduced to Laura through a mutual friend and we decided to see – through sound recording and photography – if we could capture what I liked about the places I visit on my trips to Japan. We didn’t have a set plan but rather than find tourist spots or even places off the beaten track, we decided to explore suburbia. Places that might be considered mundane and boring by the people living there.

“Making and performing music has led to me travelling to many countries but Japan is one of the few places in the world where I feel at home. It’s a place I am happy to travel to and I spend my time there free from anxiety. When I travel for work, as I am whizzed by train, plane or car past cities, towns, villages and houses, I wonder what it is like there, what people are doing. I want to get off the train and look around.”
