Girl in Kimono

As mentioned in my previous post, the purpose of my visit to Bukit Tinggi Japanese Village was to photograph model in traditional Japanese costumes. The model of this shooting session was Felixia.

The teahouse in Japanese Village had kimono and yukata for rental, at a price of RM20 for 30 minutes. The event organizer had also bought a set of yukata. For the uninitiated, yukata is casual wear typically worn during summer.

The three pictures below show the model wearing yukata （浴衣）:


In the next three pictures, the model is dressed in the more typical kimono （着物）:

    The 1st picture is nice with good composition, also like the 3rd one with some rim light on her hair....

    Do you all use artificial lighting?

    Yutkat is simpler in design.

    lechua
    Ha... Bon Odori was on the same day.

    This model is pretty and photogenic. Her smile radiates through your lens. Maybe the picture will turn out better if the model's hair is black e.g. she wears a black wig or bun. This style will be perfect for the kimono and Japanese backdrop setting. But then again this is IMHO.

    I agree that bun is great, but I think blond hair is fine...
