The Experience

1. Planning Together

Let’s discuss your vision and goals, either by email/message or over coffee, to understand your preferences regarding style, poses, and outfit choices. Please feel free to share any inspiration or specific shots you’d like to capture.

2. The Photoshoot

Throughout the session, you’ll receive gentle guidance on natural poses and movement to ensure authentic shots. You can review the images in real time to make sure you’re thrilled with how they look.

3. Getting Your Photos

Either you or I will select the best shots from your session to edit. Then, you can review your edited photos and share any final tweaks needed.

Professional Case Studies

Product Photography

Miry Brook Technologies, an American software development and investment holding company, approached the studio to photograph their green umbrella across iconic Tokyo locations. I captured it in Shibuya’s neon-lit streets, creating atmospheric shots. Moving to the traditional setting of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, I photographed the umbrella against Japanese traditional architecture.

Tourism Campaign

Three major tourism organizations, H.I.S. (Japan’s largest travel agency), Tokyo Tokyo (the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s official tourism organization), and Japaholic (Taiwan’s leading media platform specializing in Japanese culture and travel), collaborated with JG Studio on a campaign to promote Tokyo’s beauty experiences to Taiwanese tourists. The campaign featured two prominent Taiwanese lifestyle influencers who live in Japan. I photographed them throughout Asakusa’s historic district, capturing the essence of Japanese beauty culture in a traditional Japanese scenery.

Professional Headshots & Talent Portfolios

Several dozen professional portraits and headshots for business professionals, doctors, researchers, writers, and musicians for their LinkedIn or websites, as well as models and actors for their portfolios.

To personalize its online platform, AG Nihongo, an online Japanese language school, commissioned the studio to photograph its teachers. I used the school’s headquarters (library and terrace) as backdrops to create varied and engaging headshots for each teacher.

Portraits for Influencers & Creatives

French influencer Nabilla (9M+ Instagram followers) celebrated her birthday in Japan. I photographed her at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Lounge in Tokyo, using discreet lighting to avoid disturbing other guests. The photos received over 350,000 likes.

To help Kimi, the lead singer of Japanese metal girl band Bridear, collaborate with brands, I worked with her manager to plan and shoot a diverse modeling portfolio. During the studio session, a makeup artist and hairstylist perfected Kimi’s look.

I am a French freelance photographer originally from Paris, now based in Shibuya, Tokyo, and the owner of JG Studio.

I combine professionalism with a relaxed and collaborative style to make photo sessions enjoyable and help you feel confident in front of the camera.

Whether you need business portraits or personal photos, my goal is to deliver images that show you at your best.
