As you might have noticed, I changed my profile photo recently ^-^ Actually, preparing the release of a new tour of Cerca Travel, I have participated in a trial photo shoot.
First of all, rendez-vous at Karin, the cosy atelier of a stylist, Hayashi-san. Her job is to make me beautiful : make-up, hair styling, accessories.. Then, I had vestimentary choice between high quality rental kimono or western clothes. I chose kimono and Hayashi-san helpedme to put it on. Believe me, kimono dress up is a serious matter, the best way is to entrust it to the expert! And all these ephemeral moments of make-up, hair dressing and kimono dress-up were captured by the skillful hand of professional photographer! When I was all beautiful and ready, I moved to the photo shoot location, the Japanese garden of Shugakuin Kirara Sanso (Kansai Seminar House). After the photo shoot I returned to Karin atelier, where Hayashi-san helped me to take off the kimono and remove the make-up and proposed me a cup of coffee.
Before the make-up, my hair was curled with hot rollers :
