Japanese Wave Individual Photoshoot

Summer Kimono Dreams” – A Portrait Story

Watch the reel

Sunlight through silk, bare feet on warm grass—this photoshoot was pure summer magic.

No rush, no strict brief—just:
🌿 The whisper of kimono fabric in the breeze
🌸 Playful shadows from bamboo leaves
☀️ Golden hour painting everything honey-gold

These frames aren’t about posing perfection. They’re about:

  • That quiet moment when you forget the camera
  • How linen wrinkles tell a story
  • Laughter when the obi comes loose (again)

For anyone who’s ever wanted to:
✨ Feel like a Studio Ghibli character come to life
✨ Trade jeans for flowing sleeves just once
✨ Keep summer’s golden light in a photograph

The best part? You don’t need to be “photogenic”—just willing to walk slowly, touch leaves, and let the afternoon do its work.

(P.S. The dragonflies were unplanned but perfect.)

Would these look better with sakura petals or olive branches? I can’t decide—tell me your vote!
