Morning sunlight in an urban playground

coat: Topshop; dress: Madewell; boots: Dr. Martens;

ring: Good After Nine

When my photographer, Nahoko, brought me to this lifting outing in the somewhat discreet area of Nogizaka, my first thought was, "What the hell is this place?" A playground for adults, perhaps, I have no clue. This is definitely not a place for children (ha!). These wooden structures were so interesting, so modern, and oddly enough, I blended right in with my surroundings. Nahoko and I arrived right before our shift at work, and wow, does she know how to play with the natural morning light! It was so hard to choose the best ones out of the bunch. We are always shooting indoors in a tiny studio, so being outside and doing our thing was great. I'm sure we will be collaborating again soon.

I wear this knit dress from Madewell a little too much maybe, but it's my favorite! I paired it with my some black tights and my Doc Martens for a girly and playful touch. And my teddy coat, as usual, keeps me nice and snuggly warm.

今回の写真を見て、一瞬「ここはどこ？？」って思うかもしれません。私もカメラマンの鈴木さんに案内されたときは、何これー！と思っちゃいました。乃木坂駅から徒歩3分ぐらいで、ちょっと奥をたどったら、この広い空き地らしき場所にたどり着きます。この木でできた隠れ家的な建物は意外と撮影には使いやすく、楽しかったです。出勤前の時間だったので、朝の光を上手く使うことができました。さすが鈴木さん！楽しい撮影時間、ありがとうございました！
