Pick of the pics!

This week's focus: Yukari Chikura
Before you picked up a camera, you were a music composer. Why did you decide to switch your career to photography? Ever since I was a child, I’ve always lived in a world of music. Up until I reached adulthood, I knew very little about the rest of the world outside my direct surroundings. You could even say I was not really allowed to live freely. After graduating from music at university, I decided to pursue a career in musical composition; something which was self-taught.
