Jakarta-based photography duo Sally / Emily comprises sisters Sally Ann (b. 1994) and Emily May Gunawan (b. 1991). They have travelled worldwide for commercial and editorial shoots and have become well-known for a consistently feminine and colourful aesthetic. Featured in the following pages are images from the White Tokyo series, combining the clean, minimalist lines of Japanese architecture with contemporary styling. Each composition demonstrates a unique vision, taking inspiration from geometric shapes and modernism. Patterns, textures and intersecting structures are prevalent – each bright, spatially stimulating image is re ective of the 21st century metropolis whilst providing a visual glimpse of Japanese culture. The pair’s work has been featured in Grazia Indonesia, Marie Claire Indonesia: Young Rising Stars and NYLON, and their credits include Adidas and Yamaha.
