It may seem easy, but it is not easy to create a place for one's own expression while also fulfilling one's client's work. Moreover, publishing on paper, rather than on the Internet, is a case in which one cannot help but feel the spirit and intention of the creators.
Limited to 500 copies and published twice a year, the second issue of CONTACT HIGH ZINE, an independent magazine produced by stylist Tatsuya Shimada, photographer Yusuke Yamatani, and art director YOSHIROTTEN, has just been released.
The magazine is a casual and personal magazine that mixes fashion and art, while creating trends and roots within ourselves and with a variety of artists and creators. The second issue is themed "THE TRIP" and features a variety of artists expressing their "TRIP". To give you a glimpse of the contents, the frontispiece is a photo story by Yusuke Yamatani of a boat trip from Tottori Prefecture to Russia, and the back cover is a photo by photographer Takagi. The magazine also features "KICHIJITSU" by photographer Hiroshi Takagi, a mix of fashion and works by the artist collective Mirrorballer, and a photo shoot of Tokyo New Edge's KEISUKEYOSHIDA by the young, hot topic photographer Kenta Kobayashi. Kenta Kobayashi, a young and popular photographer, is photographing KEISUKEYOSHIDA of Tokyo New Edge. Other projects include a collaboration with stylists LAMBDA TAKAHASHI and YOSHIROTTEN, based on the work of rapper and artist KOHH.
The magazine is created by up-and-coming stylists, photographers, and art directors who are, so to speak, visual professionals. Unlike the Web site, the magazine is a total package that is meticulously detailed and expresses a sense of the "now" that they have their eye on. Please pick up a copy at a store.
