I met Marlena through Retna for his last solo show's piece.
We've been texting about the next shoot/collaboration for last few months, I finally made it happen with quite sexy'n steamy concept that I really can't show everything in here!*0*
As always, she is just beautiful and amazing model with down-to-earth fun personality !
Then later on, another surprise subject! Dante Spencer came by and joined our shoot!
I'll upload those later. Make Up by Hanako, Hair by Miki. Huge Thank you for Marlena, Dante Spencer and Rob for renting space!!

another photo up for SUBWARE

SUBWARE Blog

I photographed this photo few years back at AWR Motor yard. It was one night after artists finished on that day's installing for artshow, we decided to visit this historical yard. I heard about this yard from Eklips and wanted to go there someday. Super dark for camera that barely being able to focus. I really liked this person's shadow in it that was one of artist's shadow obviously. This photo was published on Dune magazine by Wanto's edit & design. One of great night memory.

BLACK SCALE Crew on FLJ magazine !


(another one of my Favorite shot.)
Just published in Japan.
You can have sneak peep on FLJ Magazine Website .

Blue Note Japan magazine-Lalah Hathaway OUT!

This is, actually 2nd time to have cover shot, the first one was Rancid for FLJ magazine, however, it was illustrated cover, so dare to say, not 'straight photo" cover but on that point, this is my very first "straight photo"(?) Cover !
I had such a great photo shoot with Lalah Hathaway last month, amazing singer with such a cool personality, for Blue Note Japan's free paper magazine that you can pick up in Tokyo. Just came out on last Friday, if you're in tokyo, please check it out!
Huge thanx to Poodle Parlor-Joe, Ashley, Hanako, Jenny, Keiko and Atsuko Tanaka who introduced me amazing Blue Note Japan !
