Dutch Influencer Ella Freya Releases First Printed Photo Book!

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

 

“Dreams have come true~”

On November 15, Ella Freya (27), a Dutch influencer with over 3 million total followers on social media, released her photo book Hyakka Ryoran. To commemorate the release, she held a signing event on November 17 at the Shosen Book Tower in Akihabara. Ella expressed her excitement, saying:

“I was happy when my first digital photo book Ran Ran Ran came out in 2021, but this time, to have a physical photo book made is an indescribable joy. I hoped to be able to release one, but even now, I can’t believe I really have a printed photo book. I would be happy if everyone in Japan likes it.”

While she has released six digital photo books, this is her first printed one, and she has several favorite shots in it.

“We mostly shot in Chiba Prefecture, and I love the photos taken in a flower field with yellow flowers blooming. It’s like the flower-filled landscape of the Netherlands, and I was wearing a pink tight dress surrounded by a variety of flowers. It matches the title Hyakka Ryoran perfectly.”

She also loves the photo on the cover, where she’s wearing a colorful swimsuit by the pool. 

“We shot it in early March when it was still chilly outside, and we had a heater by the pool while I wore a down coat. The pool water was warm, and the water was actually warmer than the air. I was worried that I might have goosebumps in the photo book.”

On November 2, at the TOMAKOMAI Cosplay Festa in Tomakomai City, Hokkaido, she added flair to the event by dressing as the heroine Marushiru from Dungeon Meshi.
