Sudo Ayano captures her subjects with a desire to transform that transcends gender. Her highly idealized images seem to fit in the space between shojo manga and photography. In her early years, Sudo added designs and decorations digitally to her photos and after printing, she would apply rhinestones and glitter. Her goal was to photographically recreate the world as she and her subjects saw it. Since Gespenster, her 2013 series that centered around girls who went missing, her works have expanded on this theme of going between imaginary worlds and reality.
