'Dragon Tattoo' Limited edition #2 of 12 by Paul Giggle Photograph

INSPIRED BY ITS CULTURE, COLOUR AND DIVERSE LOCATIONS, PAUL TRAVELLED TO JAPAN FOR THE 6TH IN THE SERIES OF 12 NATURAL WONDERS ART PROJECT. Japan has a plethora of iconic inspiration and traditions to be thanked for;- Geishas, Samurai, Sumo, Green Tea, Sushi, Tea Houses, Kimonos, Sake, Ninjas, Zen, Bonsai, Udon Noodles, cherry blossoms and many more. Paul wanted to include some of the culture and traditions yet inject a modern fashion twist into his pictures. He carefully researched locations that would suit his ideas and worked with some of Japans top model agencies to find suitable models for each photograph. “With so many ideas and possibilities to choose from the main challenge for me was to firstly work out what was achievable in the time. I wanted to explore the narrow lane ways in Tokyo and Kyoto for the Geisha Scene, include the famous Love hotels, Samurai in a bamboo forest and also shoot in the busy Shibuya Square. My producers always think that I am nuts and try to tell me that it isn’t possible. I think we managed OK”.
