Process
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. 7 days after the photo shoot, I will send you a link to view and download your edited photos in full resolution.
Professional Case Studies
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.
The singer of a Japanese girl band wanted to create a model portfolio to collaborate with clothing brands. We planned the different styles for a varied and coherent portfolio, and conducted the photoshoot over an afternoon at the studio. I hired a makeup artist and a hairstylist to perfect the singer’s style.
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.
I aim to make my tours a good time for my clients. You’re on vacation and probably not familiar with the place, so let’s relax, talk together, visit the area peacefully, and take nice photos.
7 days after the tour, I’ll send you a link to view and download your edited photos in full resolution.
You can get all the RAW photos of the shooting (30% to be added to the total price).
Pay in cash when we meet or in advance by PayPal or bank transfer (bank charges at your expense).
If you have any questions, you can contact me directly by email or Instagram DM.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
