a quotation from “Throughout the Lens” on hypebeast.com:

“Shun Okada’s main occupation is as a businessman traveling across the Pacific between Tokyo and Los Angeles, but his photographic body of work is a force to be reckoned with. Describing photography as a way to “capture light and shadows through the lens” as a way of bestowing meaning upon the mundane, Okada’s works not only tempts viewers with glimpses into the intimate spheres of individuals — be it a couple’s embrace in the ruckus of a nameless bar, ignored by everyone save for themselves, or even a man reveling in the sublimity of a simple nap — but also those happenings that may go unnoticed in the noise of everyday life which are elevated to a higher plane by the gaze of Okada’s lens. In this series, a modern Tokyo woman, Saki, is the subject of Okada’s exploration of high contrast light and shadow within the confines of a spartan interior. The blurring and soft focus in some frames evokes a raw, hurried sensuality which, when juxtaposed against the revealing light of an external flash in other frames, thus oscillates the viewer between a sense of transience in the depicted scenes, drawing to mind comparisons with Maggie Cheung’s cheongsam-clad character in Wong Kar-Wai’s In The Mood For Love.”
