Blossoms by lantern light

Sakura Night turns your photo into a cherry blossom evening: blossoms lit by soft paper lanterns, petals drifting through the air and glowing reflections on a quiet river, in a dreamy pink-and-navy color grade.

Sakura Night: blossoms by lantern light. Sakura Night brings the blossoms after dark, the mood of yozakura. Soft paper lanterns light the cherry trees, petals drift through the air, the river below glows with reflections and a dreamy pink-and-navy grade sets the mood, with no writing on the lanterns. Your own outfit, your hair and anything you wear on your head stay exactly as they are: a headscarf, a hat or a bow stays, and none is added. So do your face, skin tone and natural skin texture. It's the Pro look for hanami, Japan's cherry blossom season.

What you get

  • Cherry blossoms lit by soft paper lanterns
  • Petals drifting through the air
  • Glowing reflections on a quiet river
