“It was kind a strange, if you think about it twice. This was the first day that I met Roarie. She was traveling through Asian countries, and Japan was one of her destination. We met at the train station and went to the studio for the shoot. 4 hours later, we finished the shooting and parted at the train station. Since that, I have never met her again. We only spent 5 hours of our lives together. However, we created amazing images”

“This was my first visit to Japan. I was very pleased to meet Shuji and to work with him. He was so kind and showed me his culture, food and helped me to get around. The light in the studio was so beautiful, I felt peaceful and allowed myself to be soft, to be vulnerable. I think it really shows in the images the connections we made. Thanks Shuji for the wonderful experience.”
