Shape of Moji

Kentaro Mitsumori and Minji Nam from the Royal Swedish Ballet joined me for a photoshoot in Näsbypark. We met up in the afternoon after work and headed down to Kråkudden. Keantaro is from Japan, and Minji from South Korea and they have been dancing here in Stockholm for three and thirteen years respectively. This was their first visit to Näsbypark.

Minji Nam. The water level at Kråkudden have been a bit higher than usual, which gave us a chance to capture a great reflection.

Kentaro Mitsumori. The outer most part of the cliff is the most slippery but it also looks the best to be out there.

This next series of images with Kentaro and Minji in the water was really fun to shoot. They were amazing at creating shapes and performing for the camera.

Minji Nam and Kentaro Mitsumori. I really like the black and white editing of these photos in the water, but I have to include a few in colour because they look so good also.

Kentaro Mitsumori and Minji Nam. Having fun.

Minji Nam and Kentaro Mitsumori. This is one of my favourite photos from the shoot. It is in between poses, and you can see the process where they are figuring out the shape. Minji’s left arm is still not in position, but this makes the picture more alive.

Kentaro Mitsumori. For the last set of photos we did a few jumps, and by we I meant that Kentaro did them while we cheered him on.

A small behind the scenes glimpse:

Many thanks to Kentaro and Minji for a fun photoshoot!
