Process
Enjoy the journey to better savor the final result
1. Consultation: At the time of booking your shoot, or even before, we’ll chat about your goals. Tell me about the style, mood, and purpose of the photos you desire.
2. Inspiration: To get on the same page visually, send me photos that capture the look and feel you love.
3. 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 yourself or let me choose the ones I’ll retouch.
4. 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.
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, four models and her make-up artist. In the space of two hours, we produced 40 photos on a white background, which I then edited. Two weeks after the shoot, the photos were ready to be shared on her various platforms.
Nabilla, probably the best-known French influencer, contacted me to shoot photos of her birthday in Tokyo for her Instagram account (over 9 million followers). We shot in the lounge of Tokyo’s Mandarin Oriental hotel, where I had brought discreet lighting equipment so as not to disturb the other guests. The photos were “liked” by over 360,000 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.
Discover the best of Tokyo with me as your guide and photographer!
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 pay in cash when we meet or in advance by PayPal.
If you have any questions, you can contact me directly by email or Instagram DM.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
