Monika Mogi Explores The Transition From Girlhood To Adulthood

Tokyo-based photographer Monika Mogi captures raw and honest images that explore the period of transition from girlhood to adulthood. The 22-year-old artist – who has shot for Vice, Nylon Japan and American Apparel among others – is a self-taught photographer and has been taking pictures since she was 15. Mogi lived in California before moving back to Japan when she was 12 years old. In an interview, she says, “Growing up with a single mom who was always working gave me the freedom to be on my own in Tokyo… I think that comes out in my work.”
