Sarai Mari is drawn to an examination of the gender roles men and women play in society. We all share a desire to be understood and accepted. In our radically changing and highly judgmental society, people are often scared of being isolated or left behind, so they conform to societal norms. But in adhering to an external perception of oneself, we are unconsciously denying our true selves. Mari is obsessed with discovering the true people behind their masks. What lies hidden beneath the skin is often much more beautiful than what is projected outward. Breaking down the layers through her lens, Mari reveals an intimate vulnerability that stops time. 'Speak Easy' captures her subjects’ essence. By celebrating the continuum of gender and sexuality, preconceptions lose their meaning, leaving nothing but the raw expression of the subject in the image.

Sarai Mari was born in Nara, Japan. She studied English at UCLA when she was a teenager. After working in New York for the Spanish magazine Semana, she moved back to Tokyo and began taking portraits of rock stars for music magazines as well as photographs for fashion publications. In 2005, she relocated to London, where she became a well-established fashion photographer, shooting for magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue UK. She is also the photographer of choice of many celebrities, such as the late Amy Winehouse, Scarlett Johansson, Adele, Ewan McGregor, Arctic Monkeys, and Victoria Beckham. In 2010, she published her first book, Naked. She currently lives and works in New York.
