Fifteen Rising Photographers Capture TAO's Essence



TAO, who debuted as a model at age 14, began participating in Paris Fashion Week in 2006. She subsequently expanded her reach to Milan and London, moving her base of operations to New York in 2009. Since then, she has appeared in numerous shows and global campaigns for prestigious fashion houses, establishing herself as a leading top model representing Asia in both reputation and achievement.

In 2013, she was prominently cast as Mariko, the heroine in the film "The Wolverine," marking her Hollywood debut. With an upcoming appearance in the 2016 American film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," her future endeavors are keenly anticipated.

This exhibition is a special photography showcase that was held in New York this past May to great acclaim. It features works shot exclusively for this exhibition by 15 photographers, including Benjamin Lennox and Tim Richardson, who are recognized as "next-generation" talents. This marks their Japanese debut. The photographs, capturing TAO's diverse expressions as an internationally active artist, are a must-see.
