Exhibition of some of the images made for Mariko Kohga 1991 Spring Summer and Autumn Winter Catalogues. Shot on film, (with extremely high tension) on locations in Marrakesh and Los Angeles.
Pentax 6 X 7, analogue style. The early 90’s was pre, or very early days internet. Post or twilight days of the Japanese bubble economy. There were super models, and super photographers. Pre PC, strong sexy girls and the cigarette as a legitimate prop Glamorous lifestyle is flaunted, swagger. These productions were staged out of the Hotel De Vendome in Paris and the Sunset Marquis in LA. Locations and logistics were carried out by photographer Michele Comte’s production and his connections. Key words on set in those days were “Fabulous”, “Genius!” and “Sublime!”
