Behind this playful editorial, there were unprecedented problems we overcame by thinking on our feet and spending extra time on pre + post production.
I photographed 4 different editorials during Tokyo Fashion Week SS 2016 in October 2015 . . . Some things did not happen according to plan, and some things became unavailable at the very last moments.
Also, I was trying to recover from a recent injury, anemia, and sleep deprivation. My wound re-opened during the shoot, and I was trying to hide and ignore the fact I was bleeding.
That day, I photographed 2 separate editorials at the same time. (The other editorial was published in the February 2016 issue of Aether Magazine).
I literally collapsed the moment I finished photographing these series. But, I will never let anything to affect the quality of my work. And, thanks to the wonderful team I worked with, we got the work done (-:
