Asahi Camera Special Issue October 1972: Hai! Marie is a dedicated photographic collection by Kishin Shinoyama.
This special issue focuses entirely on Marie Helvin, a prominent model of the 1970s and 1980s, capturing her with her younger siblings during a week-long shoot on Hawaii’s Molokai Island.
This issue is alternating between color and monochrome images, and utilizing various paper types to enhance the visual experience.
Shinoyama’s work in this collection is reminiscent of his earlier publication, Olele Olala (1971), showcasing his ability to capture intimate and candid moments with a distinctive aesthetic.
