Thank you to all the Fashion Designers, Models, Stylists and Make Up Artists who have worked with me so far on my photo shoots in Japan. I’m having so much fun dreaming up the concepts and seeing them come to life with the help of many beautiful people. These images are from a shoot I did last week in Ichinomiya with Aya from D’xim model agency. Make Up and hair was styled by Annco and the garments are from at Everlasting Sprout. We shot last Saturday. I found the location that morning when I was on my morning bicycle ride. It was so beautiful that I changed all my previous location plans to shoot there. We were so lucky, because as I passed the property exactly one week later, the gorgeous house covered in vines was being demolished. Read More

Here is a photo from my recent bodypaint shoot. I wanted a strong Japanese theme, with white skin influenced by geisha, acting as a canvas for the Japanese flowers across Alex’s face and body. The fan, flowers and chopsticks enhance the flavour, to create a set of images that I love. The girls were amazing. Annco did the bodypaint and make up on our model Alex Brooks. We had a lot of fun shooting this. We originally intended to shoot outside, but after discussing the timid nature of most Japanese people (even in Tokyo) we decided that it was probably too confronting to photograph a ‘naked’ woman outside. We decided to shoot in Annco’s apartment against a perfect white wall, and the other 3 walls were close enough to act as a soft box with the single Speedlight flash. Thanks to the girls. Read More

Yesterday I had an amazing day in Tokyo, meeting a whole lot of interesting young people. They have a lot to say to the world, and they choose to do say it through the way they dress. Many of the teenagers here spend six days a week at school, after school club sports and study classes. Sunday is their only day off and they choose to express their individuality through extreme dress. A lot of the costumes are based on anime characters. Animation is unbelievably popular in Japan, amongst children, teenagers and adults. Kids in Harajuku, Tokyo ‘become’ their characters once a week, and hang around other people doing the same – From cute dolls with pink hair, to gothic-like characters covered in piercings. Anything goes! -Alicia Read More
