Provocative Lady Gaga in the lens of Nobuyoshi Araki

They just couldn't help but meet — the most outrageous pop star Lady Gaga, famous for her provocations on stage and in life, and the legend of Japanese photography Nobuyoshi Araki — master of works balancing on the edge of eroticism and pornography. What happened as a result of the meeting? Without a doubt, it was just a fiery photo shoot, about which both participants retained very stormy memories.

Photographer Nobuyoshi Araki — one of the most ambiguous, complex and interesting photo artists of our time. He is unusual even for his native Japan, not to mention the Western world. The main stereotype accompanying all his work is pornographic and scandalous, but the Araki is much deeper than superficial outrage.

During the filming, the traditional Japanese shibari binding technique was used, characterized by increased complexity and aesthetics of the bindings. This is one of Araki's favorite subjects, present in many of his works.

Later, in addition to the main photos for the magazine, polaroids taken during the photo shoot also appeared on the Internet.

This photo shoot was made back in 2009 for the third issue of the Japanese version of Vogue Hommes magazine, but still stirs the hearts of many men, and not only Japanese.
