Some people are born to be stars. You can tell how the energy surrounding them outshines others. On stage, he's a dragon showing his true colours. These photos were taken during the live performances of Katsu Kakiguchi and his band 1.G.K in Kyoto, Japan. Dragon - as the series later was named - was part of the Shasen Exhibit in Osaka, Japan.

The light in the tunnel might just be a train. Tunnels is a series of five photos taken in the subway tunnels of Stockholm, Sweden, during night time maintenance. Having worked as a subway driver for nearly eight years, these surroundings are not strange for me, but for the visitor, the tunnels may seem scary and sometimes, you may even see things that are not even there.

"Tunnels" was part of La Bella Mostra d'Arte Delle Donne exhibit at Gallery Ryo in Osaka, Japan. Special thanks to Joakim Meischner for making this series possible.
