I found this very very hard, as I don't follow photography that well and I only know a few photographers, and they are all much better at what they do than I can ever be.
So, on that note, this may not seem up to Araki's standards, but it does contain several elements that he uses. The cat (his he believes to be the soul of his dead sweetheart if I remember correctly, mine was more interested in the light from my phone), the kimono, the semi naked girl, the yakuza style tattoo.
I took it on a htc legend, using the normal camera on a black and white setting. Gentle re-touch in iPhoto and a slight crop.
After Araki.
