Cherie met us at Yorktown Beach in freezing weather for a quick, 30-minute shoot in the mists of a January morning. Sometimes we like setting rules for ourselves – for this shoot, we used only one lens (100mm), and no lighting modifiers- not even a reflector. And let’s get a series of portraits before we get frostbite, shall we?
Cherie is American but she’s fluent in Japanese, having studied in Japan for the past several years. She still bows her head when you compliment her or when she says thank you, just like they do “over there.” She resides in Virginia and in addition to improving her Japanese, she is interested in commercial and artistic modeling. Thanks for choosing us to take your portraits, Cherie!
