These portraits of Japanese couples and families taken in a studio with a large-format camera are a unique and artistic way of capturing the beauty and elegance of Japanese culture. The choice of traditional clothing adds an extra layer of significance to the portraits and provides a visual representation of the pride and respect for tradition that is deeply ingrained in Japanese society. Toutain-Dorbec's portraits carry a timeless quality that transcends cultural and temporal boundaries.
