Fumi Nagasaka Explores Isolation and Adaptation in Short Film 'A Light'

In this short film shot exclusively for Dazed Digital, Japanese photographer Fumi Nagasaka explores loneliness and adaptation to her new home in Sweden.

Says Nagasaka about street casting the film's lead, "I saw Daniel for one second at some station in Stockholm last year. I was on the train and he was standing on the platform so I didn’t get chance to talk and I was really upset. A few weeks later I saw him again and asked him to be in my Dior Homme story for Dazed. When we met he was wearing a vintage long leather jacket and cybergoth boots, his hair half shaved and half long. I was just in love with his look. We kept in touch and when I decided to make this film he was the person I pictured in my head."
