This joins the two and channels Seal's soulful lyrics with the art of photography and how it emphasizes human connection. The duo is “shining light on the subjects of a frame – while painting unique perspectives for artists behind the lens.” It is inspired by the Japanese term 'komorebi' -- this is the term used to describe the way sunlight seeps through tree canopies. The exterior design of the camera is detailed with a special weave using black polyester thread and gold tonal washi paper to create the look. It also has a kimono fabric to ensure that every single camera is unique to its own -- there are [only 500 cameras made](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasselblad-x2d-100c-earth-explorer-edition).
