between us

Between Us is a portrait series lensed by Masashi Shimura that explores the quiet tension emerging within these in-between spaces. Set in Tokyo, a city defined by density and restraint, people live constantly alongside others while maintaining a subtle sense of distance. Closeness and separation, contact and avoidance exist simultaneously. This urban condition quietly shapes the way relationships are formed and perceived. Rather than constructing a clear narrative or dramatic moment, the series focuses on preserving distance between subjects and between the subject and the camera, allowing silence, atmosphere, and unspoken presence to surface within the frame naturally. Styling by Rieko Sanui, hair by Nanami Maeda, make up by lisajuliaflick, and composition is kept deliberately minimal. Through posture, form, and orientation of the body, the work seeks to reveal only the outline of a relationship, leaving space for ambiguity and interpretation. photography. Masashi Shimura fashion.
