“All right, if it will help you...” I work for a publisher and was given the chance to assist rising photographer Noriaki Ikeda. When I proudly told my wife, she insisted on watching the shoot. My boss, Mr. Oki, reluctantly agreed as long as she stayed quiet. During a break, I showed Ikeda my own photos, but he dismissed them as amateur work. Then he took an interest in my wife and said he wanted to photograph her nude.
