What do you do when you graduate from the porn world? Become a singer like Yuma Asami? Perhaps. Become a mangaka like Nayuka Mine? Perhaps. Or you can become an artist!
Japanese porn star turned photographer Saki Otsuka showcases her lensing work in Mitsubai Room, a monthly photography magazine.
Otsuka has been gradually building a post-porn career in photography that is sensibly informed by her expertise. Her work is sexually explicit but dark and jagged, more Daido Moriyama than Kishin Shinoyama or Yasumasa Yonehara.
This is taken from her Hotel B series (she wants models, by the way — apply if you are interested).
The models are named only as “Ayumi and Jun” (it’s not clear if they are really having sex), and the place just as “Tokyo”.
