Book This ShootFAQ
- Is this a good idea if it's my first time in Japan?
- Definitely. A lot of my clients are first-timers, and half the fun is exploring while we shoot. You don't need to know the city — I lead the way and handle the route.
- I'm awkward in front of a camera. Do you help with posing?
- Yes, but never stiffly. I give small, easy cues and keep us walking and talking, so you're doing something rather than posing. Most people forget the camera within a few minutes.
- What happens if it rains?
- We can reschedule, or shoot anyway — covered arcades, cafés and neon-lit streets look great in the rain. It's your call on the day.
- Can you recommend photo locations?
- That's my favourite part. Tell me the mood you want — historic, neon, quiet backstreets, iconic — and I'll suggest spots in Osaka, Kyoto or Nara that fit and photograph beautifully.
- Can we wear kimono?
- Yes, and it looks wonderful on camera, especially in Kyoto. Rental isn't included, but I'll point you to good rental shops and we'll build the shoot around it.
- How many photos do we get?
- From 30 fully edited images on the Travel Portraits session up to 100 on the Half-Day. Every delivered photo is colour- and exposure-corrected.
