Portrait Photographer – Photo Studio

1. Consultation: At the time of booking your shoot, we’ll chat about your goals. Tell me about the style, mood, and purpose of the photos you desire. You can send me photos that illustrate the look you’d like to achieve.

2. Photoshoot Day: I’ll guide you through posing and ensure we get those perfect shots. Once the session is over, you can select the photos to keep or let me choose them.

3. Editing: I shoot in RAW format for maximum image quality. This allows me to create stunning edits that enhance your photos. My focus is on perfecting the light and color balance, cropping for a polished look, and refining skin tones for a natural, radiant glow. This editing process takes time and expertise, but it’s what elevates your photos to the next level.

• A fashion designer called on my services to take photos of her creations for her e-commerce site and social media. She came to the studio with her creations, three models and a make-up artist. In the space of two hours, we produced photos on a white background, which I then edited. One week after the photoshoot, the photos were ready to be shared on her various platforms.
• Nabilla, the most famous French influencer, wanted to take photos of her birthday in Tokyo for her Instagram account (with over 9 million followers). We shot in the lounge of Tokyo’s Mandarin Oriental hotel, where I brought along discreet lighting equipment so as not to disturb the other guests. The photos were “liked” by over 368,000 people.
• An online Japanese language school wanted to have headshots of each of its teachers to bring the platform closer to its students. This way, students could see the face of the teacher in charge of the selected course. I took the photos at the school’s headquarters, where there was also a library and a large terrace, to create a different atmosphere for each teacher and bring variety.
