MICHAEL GLENN
One day after landing in Tokyo on holiday in 1991, Michael wandered into the Japanese advertising industry.
In the years since, he has been blessed with the opportunity to develop concepts and write copy for some of the world's best-known brands. After working as an international creative director at Hakuhodo for 15 years, he has worked on a freelance basis for various clients and agencies in Japan.
In 2017, he formed EIGHTPOCKETS with Nicci Keller.
NICCI KELLER
Born and raised in Zurich Switzerland, Nicci began taking landscape and still life photos from an early age. By 1985, he had gravitated to fashion photography on the other side of the planet, working as an assistant to the Australian photographer David Haddon.
In 1988, he settled in Tokyo where his vast portfolio of work has captured the leading edge of Japanese culture spanning from music to fashion to advertising.
Today, Nicci remains busy with still photography while directing film and video.
