about us
Studio Frog is co-run by Japanese writer & photographer Kiyomi Yui and Dutch musician Mick Ness.
Kiyomi Yui
Born in Tokyo, based in Amsterdam
Writer and photographer
She writes and photographs for Japanese newspapers and magazines, exploring contemporary issues through the lens of decades of living in the Netherlands.
For Dutch media, contributes stories on Japanese art, culture, and social phenomena.
From a position that is neither fully inside nor fully outside, in the Netherlands as wel as in Japan, she remains attentive to what emerges at the threshold.
