As promised, the photos from my retro photo shoot, the first shoot of the year for me! I'm very pleased with how the photos turned out. I had never done a retro/vintage-inspired shoot before, so I had a great time modeling both outfits. I'm starting to realize that modeling is like acting - it's important to really immerse yourself into the role you are assigned and get creative with expressions and posing.  Being able to play both the male & female roles in this particular photo shoot was an awesome experience. My stylist said she bought everything at vintage or second-hand shops in Tokyo! How cool is that?

On a separate note, I don't actually smoke - the cigarette was just a prop! :)

Thanks for reading!

Love,
