So why the name? Our co-founder and editor Alister is often called this by Japanese born pastel artist Marbo Barnard, because what falls out of Alister’s camera is what’s kicking around his brain. So for a very brief moment these thoughts are brought to life and reality in front of the lens.

This edition of Hidari Maki features not just the work of Alister Oliver but for the first time the work of other fashion photographers. We have Phen Mas from New Orleans and Paolo Prisco from Monaco both very talented and bring some excitement to these pages. Paolo Prisco is interesting in that he does all the work in his shoots; the photography,make-up, hair, and styling of the clothes.

Please enjoy this issue as it was a pleasure to work with those featured on its pages.
