Born in Hawaii, USA, and raised in the North of England by Japanese and English parents, Erika Kamano encapsulates her rich cultural background through visual storytelling. Celebrating the organic human form often found intertwined with nature Kamano creates intimate, ethereal portraits that build visual narratives transcending the viewer from reality into the surreal. Raw human connection and empowerment sit at the core of her vision, culminating in imagery that reads as visual poetry. Her curiosity, paired with a deep love of fashion, has led to sensational staged narratives and collaborations with leading fashion houses including Marc Jacobs, Mugler, Givenchy and Fendi.
