Dark Fantasies

Japanese photographer Miya Kishimura pulls you into a dark world of fantasy from which it is difficult to escape. A school girl in uniform with desperate eyes. The same girl with grotesque make-up. In another shot she lies on the street, seemingly dead. This is Kishimura’s world.

jeni-jeni: The girl with the red thread across her face almost looks like a girl version of Heath Ledger’s Joker! Great photos.
Kjeld Duits: I think so, too, Nandita. Both conceptually and artistically, these photographs are really strong. Miya is also very sensitive to the feelings of her generation.
Nandita: i thinks its brilliant work.. both styling n make-up, very conceptual to me.. and the final effect is photographed really well too! keep up d good work!

momo[ko]!: HOORAY!!:D wow…i just admire and adore loli fashion-it’s TOO cute! im soo happy that it’s finally out in english- i’ve ordered little ol’ me a copy-im so anxious to get it!XD
rieluvlolita: yay!!!!can’wait to get my hands on one of those!!….And a sewing machine….
Hime Kimiko: Yay, yay, yay!!! I can have REAL patterns, FINALLY!!! And that way I can read the measurements and what the preferred materials are and then all the other cool stuff that comes with loli! I’m thrilled. It’s hard enough to design this stuff without a basic pattern to start one’s self on. Even with the geometry it’s just really complicated unless you are very knowledgable in how fabrics will react. It’s hard to get the dress perfect.
