Description Model: Tomoko

Osaka, JP 2006

Tomoko has been a very loyal model for me. She was 18. She went to school 2 minutes from where I stayed. Sometimes after school, she visited me. She did not speak any English, so I do not know her story in detail. She was very expressive in her photos though and that's why I just let her do what she wanted. I sat there in my room and photographed her quietly. I let her take center stage. I was her first photographer.

She looks like a child. I don't know why I thought this, when I saw her. I love her expression. It's so sad and still so innocent. She is beautiful.

I think she's very brave, because she lets us see deep into her soul! Hopefully, she's getting better!

Thanks for making such
beautiful work! - Stitches

I'm at once riveted and horrified. This photograph speaks with silence. The emotion that emanates from this piece is powerful - heartstopping. Everytime I look at it I find myself choking, my insides tightening, and yes...that undeniable prickling behind the eyes. It's a punch in the gut with one glance at this piece. Stunning. It's painful, dark, warm, sensual, haunting, ugly, mortifying, intelligent, and without a doubt possessing a beauty that lies beyond aesthetics.

Tomoko: remarkable model and gorgeously keen in expression.

On to lighter things: I adore the the colors. They're lush and soft. The subtle lighting is delicious.

Brilliant work. This piece will not be forgotten.

This photo speaks a thousand words. Its amazing that someone who doesn't even speak the same language as I do could express so much without using words. She's lovely and sad, but so strong. This is a beautiful photo and story; Its so powerful and moving.

it's a little strange, and a little comforting to see that there is someone thousands of miles away that i've never met doing the same thing to herself that i am to myself.
she is very brave.

This is terribly honest. Very moving. I was compelled to fav it, but not because it was appealing, because it was challenging.

She's beautiful. This photo shows such contrasting emotion - her cherubic face with the scars of her past. She's a beautiful model and you are a wonderful photographist. Such emotion and such beauty shows that you truly care about what happened to her.

Wonderful

Amazing. I mean the way she looks and feels, I understand her but it was never that way for me. She looks beautiful. Filled with life but somehow she doesn't know it or doesn't want to admit it. Great work. On both the pictures, I can't wait to see the rest. Wish you could come to El Salvador XD!
