About
Iei: A Portrait of the Life You Are Living is a portrait session where you can be photographed for your own iei, the portrait placed at a Japanese funeral, while you are still alive. It is part of the Memento Mori in NYC event at Resobox and is led by New York photographer Tokio Kuniyoshi with hair and makeup artist Michael. In Japan more and more people are choosing their own funeral portrait themselves, and the session is less about preparing for death than about honoring the person you are today. Photos are retouched and delivered as digital files on the spot, with hair and makeup or portrait-only options.
