Julius Oikawa is a photographer and creative working across modeling, styling direction, and image consulting.
His work is rooted in observation and curiosity, exploring the subtleties of presence, movement, and expression.
He seeks to capture moments that feel authentic, where intention meets the fleeting quality of time.

With experience both in front of and behind the camera, Julius approaches each project with care and sensitivity. His direction of styling, form, and gesture is never purely decorative; it becomes part of the story each image tells, helping collaborators and brands convey identity and atmosphere in a way that feels honest and considered.

He has collaborated with Ann Demeulemeester and Enfants Riches Déprimés, as well as notable creatives and musicians including Esdeekid, Nausea Twins, Pol Sound, and The Hellp.
These partnerships reflect his commitment to working within artistic communities where visual culture, sound, and style intersect.

The name “Court est le temps” — Capturer le temps — speaks to the core of his practice.
It reflects the desire to pause time, to hold onto what inevitably passes, and to preserve fragments of experience before they slip away.
While time cannot be reversed, an image becomes a way of carrying the past forward — keeping it close without losing it. Time is brief, and for Julius, photography is a way of honoring that brevity by capturing what matters before it fades.
