Met up with American model Rachael while in Osaka to try and get some images of a person visiting the city, rather than shots of the locals. Namba really comes alive at night so the plan was to use the neon lights as a background and then illuminate the model with off camera flash.

It turns out that the male hosts of Dotomburi were fascinated with what we were doing, so they ended up in the shoot too.

And finally a shot of Flickr friend Jan Moren who assisted me on the shoot by holding the off camera flash.
