Akiyo here — I'm a photographer and filmmaker based in New York, and I'm passionate about connecting with people.

My approach is different. I don’t believe in the usual “photo shoot” vibe. There’s no commercial feel, no quick in-and-out. Instead, we start with a breathing exersize and a medication. Wsit down, have a relaxed conversation, and breathe together as I document the moment naturally and candidly. There’s no pressure, no need to perform — just genuine, unposed moments.

“There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.” — Leonard Cohen
