I'm back from my journey and thought I'd start with an old favourite. Ao Gunji is one of the best photographers working in what I've come to call the "Japanese style". By this, I mean he creates series of intimate images with the same model. This is usually done in a domestic setting with natural lighting. The end result is a photo essay, rather than a single iconic image with the focus on the model as an individual rather than as an object. These are tender and non-explict studies in sensuality rather than overtly sexual strip shows.

There are lots of new images since I last visited. Don't miss this website.
