Her paternal grandfather’s Russian roots give her pale, almost translucent skin and deep, striking eyes that feel unlike those of a typical Japanese beauty. This work draws out the exotic beauty of her appearance without relying on excessive staging. That is the theme of *Natural Self*. Set in a bayfront studio, the book moves through five different spaces — a living room, bedroom, loft, bar counter, and more — as “a slightly spicier, more seductive Sasha, unlike anything seen before,” is quietly but unmistakably set free. As a “gravure idol artist” who also pours her passion into illustration, Sasha brings a rich imagination of her own. In this volume, that imagination is elevated into a more provocative form of expression than she has ever shown before.

“Tanbi” refers to a spirit of surrendering oneself deeply to beauty itself, pursuing beauty with single-minded devotion. The title *Tanbiroku* carries the wish for this book to be not something consumed in a single moment, but “a photo book meant to be appreciated,” one in which new discoveries emerge the more it is viewed. Set in a Western-style mansion standing in Honmoku, Yokohama, the book follows Maki Shinkai as she reveals a bewitching atmosphere across five different spaces, showcasing her striking G-cup figure and sharply defined waist, shaped through her daily training. A coordinated outfit pairing a tight skirt with garter belts brings out “a different side of her,” while in the undressing scene she herself confidently recommends, saying she “looks beautiful,” her sensual neckline quietly, yet unmistakably, captures the viewer’s gaze. It is a volume in which the expressive power unique to a former idol blends seamlessly with the atmosphere of an old Western mansion.

A cool, composed gaze and a gentle, soft smile—two opposing faces brought together in one photobook, TWO TONE. Her unique beauty, born from Filipino, Spanish, and Japanese roots, is paired with the refined ability to captivate—honed through her work as a race queen and ring girl. Each carefully captured scene, shot in a Tokyo studio, seamlessly reveals her coolness, cuteness, strength, and sensuality without contradiction. With every turn of the page, her expression shifts, drawing the viewer deeper into her world. This is a volume that captures where Usami Nao stands today.

We employed lighting that emphasizes the contrast between light and shadow, along with high-definition retouching techniques that let you feel the subject's every breath — delivering an immersive, gallery-like experience even through a smartphone screen. Rather than relying on heavy editing, we draw out the full presence of the real person, presenting a new concept: "gravure meant to be admired." The stunning curves of her "ultimate waistline" and a smile as radiant as the sun. In her latest work "SOLARIA," Ayano Sumida's natural beauty and artistic elegance come together, vividly capturing who she is right now.

The title "PICTURA" reflects our intention to create a work that will be cherished for years to come as a piece of art, rather than consumed as fleeting digital content. In shots featuring passionate crimson lingerie, for example, the contrast between her porcelain-smooth skin and the vivid red captivates the viewer's eye. We also employed lighting that emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow, along with high-definition retouching techniques that let you feel the subject's every breath. Our goal was to create "gravure meant to be admired" — delivering an immersive, gallery-like experience even through a smartphone screen.

The location is "Atami in summer." For the outdoor shots under the blazing sun, the entire crew endured the grueling conditions together, getting sunburned along the way. But it was all worth it — the result is a collection packed with artistic shots that bring out her allure even more against the interplay of summer light and shadow. The dreamy dress shots at dusk, which she herself said were her favorites, are an absolute must-see. The stunning outfit — so beautiful she remarked, "I could walk straight into a party wearing this" — blends seamlessly into Atami's nostalgic end-of-summer scenery, captivating all who see it.
