A FIRST TEST SHOOT WITH MASUMI FOR A NEW PROJECT...

I did a test shoot with a performer / dancer Masumi Tipsy Saito the other day.
We are starting a new project.. photo and a short film.
I'm expecting this is going to be something exciting!
I respect her way of expressing herself. but still need to go further.
I believe we always have a potential of human nature. hope it is going to be reflected in my photos...

Experiment.

INSPIRATION FROM JAPAN & ARMENIA

Kazuo Ohno


Recently I'm more and more into Japanese Art!
So many inspiration I get from here... I'm proud of being a Japanese!

And also I love the Armenian Film Director

Sergei Parajanov

very analog way of making sets.
This film the color of Pomegranate is amazing.
Although I knew nothing about Armenia, it made me want to go there!
I like the make-up / costumes / buildings and sets... animals in this film
HIGHLY RECOMMEND for inspiration.
