Japanese fashion model's book. Modeling portfolio review

Aspiring Japanese fashion model Ayano @ Friday Model Management Tokyo shows us her book. Modeling portfolio review.

Ayano is just starting her career in modeling, so there aren't many pictures there, but once model starts working her portfolio fills up with pictures very fast, so it's actually no problem.

Lovely Japanese model shows us her book with magazine publications and various photos from the shoots for brands, runway shows and model test shoots.

A break

I've realized that it's been a year break.
A break from posting anything here.
Like a silence...

No, I haven't been silent for all this time, I've  been using other social media sites and apps like instagram. And I've been living my life. A bit messy life though.
This year is a hard one, but it's getting better and better with time. And I'm really excited. I'm getting better.

I want to live in a real life, in this momen.
I love the Universe and the Universe loves me.
And no, I'm not crazy horoscope fan or anything, but I've been feeling really spirutual lately and I love this positive energy of my mind, I love these vibes, this thrill and the calmness.
I enjoy writing down my thoughts.
I enjoy being naked.

Minimalism as a lifestyle

About minimalism as a lifestyle & inspiration.

I love being focused on my life and travel, not on the material things. But you don't have to be too extreme about it. Sometimes it's hard for me being "fully minimalist" ( I mean my mind sometimes whispers it to me) due to my job - I'm a fashion photographer, stylist and graphic designer. To make it short - I'm an artists, so it's especially hard for me.

And yes, - I do have a lot of things because of it: my camera & photographic equipment, make-up (sometimes I do it for the shoots), pencils and paints for drawing, basic clothing for styling models and etc.

When I see all of these things, sometimes I get a little bit sad, because I want it to be more compact. I would like to take less things with me when I travel. But I realize that having all those things is actually necessary for me, for my job, it doesn't make me less minimalist nor a bad person.

You just need to find what works best for you and realize that that everything has to be in modelration, you don't have to too hard on yourslef. Just enjoy your journey.

And what works best for you? I will be happu to hear your opinion in the comments below.
Hugs.

Nostalgic mood. The Diary

I've been in some kind of nostalgic mood recently. 

I miss that warm air, when it's so hot and sometimes it feels like you can't even breathe. Heavy rains, the spices and exotic fruits. I love Asia, I love its atmosphere, it's mood. Sometimes I hate it though... But it's a coming-going thing like everything else in our lives... I mostly hate it because I still feel an outsider when I'm there. And I will always be. 
But it's OK. I still can observe it and get inspired by it. I still can love it and appreciate it's beauty. Sometimes I feel like I was born in a wrong place. Everybody wants to live in Europe, but when I stay there for several months, I feel like a prisoner. I get bored of that calmness... I need to shake my mind and fill it with some Asian craziness...

Modeling Industry in China. Shi Jing video test

Few words about Chinese Fashion market and modeling industry in China, some advices for photographers and few words about my test shoot with Shi Jing in Shanghai, China 2016

Shi Jing is really wonderful. She doesn't have a lot of experience in modeling, but I think she has a good potential. Although Shi Jing doesn't speak English, we were able to understand each other, she tried her best and always paid attention when I was showing her how to pose.
