Personal Paparazzo (ft. Les Twins)

Unexpected Guests

Sumiko Tinubu. A 24 year old of Japanese and African ethnicity. She's always been protective of everyone around her. She doesn't let people in easily. That's why she's never had a boyfriend. Its not that she hates the male race or swings the other way. She's just never had time to focus on another person.

All her life she's been trying to get to the top of the photography world. It started when she was 14. She took one picture, when she got her first camera, and her career took off from there. Since then, she's been intensely studying technology and the arts at The New York Film Academy.

On the side of school, she is a photographer for photo sessions.  She's done shoots with upcoming artists and performers like Jorja Smith, THEY, and Audio Push. Even the big time artists, like Beyoncé, Tory Lanez, Rihanna, and a profound amount of others. Photography keeps her busy and she loves the discipline it demands.

Sumiko works aside her older sister Akeno Tinubu. Akeno has her own studio for photoshoots. She has a crew, Sumiko included, that works and prepares the studio. Since Sumiko and Akeno are sisters, they don't always get along. For example:

"I don't care. I'm not working with them. Do you know how stubborn they are?"

"Sumiko! Do you know how stubborn you're being?? You have to! You're the only photographer we have! I'd rather not call another last minute!"

"And I thank you for that, sister. I do want to keep my job to me only. But I'm still not going to work with them."

Akeno stands up from her desk, slamming her hands down.

"I don't give a damn if you like them or not! This is not a game, Sumiko!" She yells, her body shaking with anger. "This is reality and they are still paying a lot for this session. They might even come back if we do well enough!" Akeno yells her voice booming as it bounces off of the walls.

"I understand, Eno." Sumiko says calmly. She's always been the controlled one even though she is younger. "But who is the photographer?" She asks Akeno.

"Who is your boss?" Akeno asks smugly.

"No one. We work together." Akeno sighs loudly, rolling her eyes. "Look, I need you to understand, they aren't our typical donees." Sumiko says seriously. "I've seen from reviews, and heard from other photographers, that they're very pushy and demanding. You know I am not one that does well with commands. Especially from customers. My style is to just feel the atmosphere and go from there. They don't agree with that method."

"Well something's gonna have to work, Sumiko, because they have arrived." Akeno smirks patting Sumiko's back.

"And--what??" Sumiko yells, her eyes popping out of the socket.

Akeno walks out of the office, while Sumiko prepares herself to officially meet, in her mind, the infamous, disreputable, notorious...

Les Twins.
