Japanese photographer Shuji Kobayashi captures intimate portraits of young women in dream-like surroundings. His sensuous images are saturated in natural light and evoke a sense of nostalgia and fantasy. Kobayashi moved to the US when he was younger to pursue a career as a film director but eventually began shooting photographs for fashion and film magazines. The photographer now lives and works in Tokyo.
