Self Portrait with Photo Exif and FOTD

So I was sitting at my computer one night really wanting to go to Japan. And also at that instant I felt like photographing a fashion shoot.

It’s these small instances of inspiration that drive to do things outside of the ordinary, such as compose a song with lyrics, or completely reorganize my closet and donate half my wardrobe away to follow a more minimalist life.

But I wanted to see the vision right away, a Japanese-inspired shoot and I didn’t have an available model just standing right there, nor did I have any interesting attire, but I did have a kimono I bought at Japantown in Los Angeles.

So I did what I usually do. Do a ghetto self portrait with my camera and minimal lighting setup.

I don’t need much gear to achieve what I’m envisioning, but if I did have more gear, costume, models, makeup, etc, it would be lovely for sure.

Here’s a set of shots I took in less than 10 mins. Of course the hair and makeup took a bit longer!
