Julie Samurai Girl by Paulo Von Vancano
Japanese photographer, Julie records the colourful and playful mix of Tokyo street fashion. This book is a blend of club culture chic and Manga influences.
"Julie Watai is a photographer and contemporary artist whose acid-bright, digitised works draw heavily on the worlds of Japanese manga, anime, and otaku cultureDistorted-yet-realistic, Watai combines images from pop cultural fantasies - from gun-slinging anime girls, to cyborgs, to 'kawaii' dolls - with 3D (real-world) imagery, creating a glitch-type portraiture that excites and overloads the imagination." - Beautiful Decay
Watai, Julie: - Julie Watai is not just a photographer. She is an artist, DJ, music producer and model whose aesthetics could be described as hi-tech kawaii. She mashes up Shibuya and Akihabara culture with her original world-view and creates so-called techno scape photos. A devoted gamer and manga fan, Julie works at the edges of otaku culture, geek culture, and kawaii culture, endlessly searching for hip new ways to capture the heart of her viewers and pushing the boundaries of subculture art. The word 'otaku' has a lot of negative associations, she says. My work is about finding ways to showcase its positive aspects.
