Dutch influencer Ella Freya releases her first paper photo book!

Ella is very excited about her first paper-based photo book!

My dream has come true!”

On November 15, “New Currents”, a photo book by Ella Freya, 27, a charismatic influencer from the Netherlands with over 3 million followers on SNS, was released. To celebrate the release, a signing event was held at the Akihabara bookstore “Shosen Book Tower” on April 17. Ms. Ella expressed her joy at the beginning of the event and continued.

I was happy when I made my first digital photo book “Ran Ran Ran” in ’21, but now I am incomparably happy to have a paper photo book made as well. I had hoped to publish it, but even now I can’t believe that I am actually able to publish a paper photo book. I hope everyone in Japan likes them.

Although six digital photo books have been released, this is the first time a paper photo book has been published, and she has a number of favorite shots.

I love the photos of the flower fields with yellow flowers,” she said. I photographed her in a tight pink dress in a landscape of flowers spreading out like the Netherlands, with a variety of flowers in full bloom. It matches the title, “Currents”.

I also love the photo on the cover, in which I am wearing a colorful swimsuit in a swimming pool; it was still chilly outside during the shoot in early March, so I put a heater by the pool and wore a down coat. The water in the pool was so warm that it was warmer in the water. I was worried the photo shoot would give me goosebumps.”

On November 2, she made a spectacular appearance at the “Tomakomai Cosplay Festa” held in Tomakomai City, Hokkaido, as Marusil, the heroine from “Dungeon Rice.

He sang “New School Leaders” at karaoke!

I did my best for both the photo session and the talk show,” she said. After all, Hokkaido is a city of delicious seafood. I like seafood bowls, and everything I ate in Hokkaido was fresh and delicious. I like salmon roe and salmon.

I often had kaisendon in Chiba, where the sea is close by, during the photo shoot for my photo book. I know it is hard for everyone because salmon roe has become more expensive, but as soon as I arrived in Japan, I thought, ‘I want to eat kaisendon,’ so I went to a sushi restaurant near my house. I had sushi in Holland, too, but the freshness is totally different.”

In preparation for the photo book, she was practicing yoga and trying to lose weight. She was also careful in her daily diet to avoid excessive calorie intake, for example, eating only tuna as an ingredient when eating onigiri.

For example, she would eat only tuna when eating an onigiri (rice ball). I was very stoic, eating nuts and fruits, and limiting my daily calories. I think my yoga practice has improved my posture because I now know where my body’s axis is.”

When my twin sister and friends in Japan saw my photo book, they said, “Wow! I want to make everyone in Japan smile as much as possible.

I want to make everyone in Japan smile as much as possible. I was able to publish a paper photo book, so I would like to give back to the people of Japan through various contents. I love Japanese culture, and the other day I went to a karaoke bar and sang “New School Leaders. I want to be the kind of person who can bring smiles and energy to everyone.

With the release of her long-awaited paper photo book, we can expect even greater things from Ella.
