I am a French portrait photographer originally from Paris, now based in 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.

Professional Case Studies

French influencer Nabilla (9M+ Instagram followers) celebrated her birthday in Japan. I photographed her in the Mandarin Oriental hotel lounge, 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.

A Japanese fashion designer partnered with the studio to photograph her latest collection for her online store and social media platforms. I captured photos of three models showcasing her designs against a white backdrop.

Miry Brooks, an American umbrella company, approached the studio to photograph their high-end umbrella collection across iconic Tokyo locations. I captured their signature model in Shibuya’s neon-lit streets during a light rain, creating atmospheric shots that highlighted the umbrella’s water-resistant properties. Moving to the traditional setting of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, I photographed the umbrella against Japanese traditional architecture, showcasing its elegant design.

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. Their established presence in Taiwan’s digital space made them ideal ambassadors for showcasing Japanese beauty specialties. I photographed the influencers throughout Asakusa’s historic district, capturing the essence of Japanese beauty culture in a traditional Japanese scenery.

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.

Several dozen professional portraits and headshots for business professionals, doctors, researchers, and musicians for their LinkedIn or profile photos, as well as models and actors for their portfolios. Using tailored lighting and composition techniques, I captured each client’s unique personality and professional essence, from polished headshots for corporate use to dynamic portfolio images for creatives.
