Also from the same shoot as my previous update. Momo is also a talented dancer I met long ago and never got to shoot with studio lights...

Previously I shot her dancing at Ageha.

Whenever my schedule allows, I shoot pole dancers at a club in Shin Kiba, Tokyo. These girls are real acrobats. I shoot them before going on stage, a la strobist, and then I shoot their performance. There are usually 2 sets every Saturday. In order of appearance: Maki, Kayo, Reiko, Pippi.
