Maiko(Geisha)

Caught in time... dressed as a MAIKO and posing for the camera on a lovely spring day during the Hanami season at Kiyomizu-dera, Kyoto 2010.

This photo was taken with a model dressed in a kimono and geisha make-up from a studio that offers this kind of service. The photo was taken in color and then processed in PSE(layers) to separate the model's color from the background color.
