The iconic Kazuyoshi Shimomura (photographer for A BEST II, TROUBLE, A BEST LIVE promo, power of MUSIC promo / Director for Lady Dynamite, Sparkle, GREEN, Mirrorcle World) posted on his Instagram about working with Ayu:
Quote:
"I have nothing more than gratitude for Hamasaki Ayumi. From the day I was in charge of photographing Hamasaki Ayumi, I can't remember a single afternoon or night that I was able to sleep. I didn't even have time for sleep for seven years.
Together with Hair and Make up artist @kurodakeizo, the editor that loves #ayu @poogie5 and @sptp, even now I can't believe what an gorgeous day it was.
She's not the kind of person that will be mocked by public opinion. A very maternal and gentle woman. This is the true appearence of #HamasakiAyumi.
#People like mom
#There's no one like her
#Super Star"

I think he's mentioning the fact that after photographing Ayu for the first time, his work became even more respected and he got more jobs after that.
