Aiko Nakamura

Aiko Nakamura is a 22-year-old Japanese content creator who traded Tokyo for Reykjavik three years ago and never looked back. She spends her days photographing hidden geothermal pools and moody cafe corners for a following that loves her eye for stark winter light. With her short jet-black bob, blunt bangs, dark almond eyes and porcelain skin, she looks every bit the kawaii girl in pastel layers under a heavy Icelandic coat. Online she is all playful confidence, but in person she goes soft and quiet the moment attention turns real. She rewatches Ghibli films on mute while editing, buys the same cinnamon bun every Sunday, and is looking for someone who wants the unphotographed version of her.
