The new lookbook is coming out soon! We did a shoot two weeks ago, and it went great. I feel like it was the best and easiest shoot I’ve ever done. The planning part took a lot of effort, but because of that, the shoot went smoothly. I also worked with a local photographer, model and a make-up artist. All of whom I have worked in the past, so knowing each of them relatively well helped create a relaxed atmosphere.
We shot at a gorgeous park in Yokohama. In the park, there are two historic buildings which used to belong to foreign ambassadors. The interior is decorated with antiques and this helped bring out the mood we were looking for. Our theme was “Remember when…”.
Getting a permission to shoot at these buildings took a bit of effort. We had to submit a written request with details explaining the camera equipment, number of people, and how many clothes we were shooting. The soles of the shoes needed to be padded so the models could wear them indoors without ruining the floor. And we had to pay the use of this facility.
I can’t wait to show you the finished pictures! More to come.

How fun! I’m excited to see how this turns out!
It really is a lot of work setting up shoots– that’s basically what my full-time job is, only for a television show. 🙂
