Hi Satoshi sen, thank you so much for the wonderful photos! I very much wish we can have a photographer like you back home. I love that you were able to give me a mixture of candid pictures, “staged” , and also natural fun images. The turnaround time is great. All my photographers in the US want 2 weeks minimum which I never get that. Some photographers wouldn’t even show you any pre editing photos because they can look very disappointing and different. I like how confident you are during the whole shooting that you don’t mind showing off your real photography skills immediately after you hit the shutter! (Instead of rely heavily on post editing session) When I first opened the files, I was very impressed on the image quality! I thought about getting the raw files and edit them myself if I need to get large print, but nope, they are more than good enough for me! You are truly the highlight of my trip! Let me know when you come back to the US, we will show you Texas! I hope you realize how gifted you are in doing this type of photography.
Unforgettable experience

Shitoshi is very knowledgeable about the area, ask him about Osaka before you visit for local tips and sites! He led us around the local parks and Shrines for pictures and gave us insight on some of the traditions and customs the people who love here follow. Very kind and was good at leading the conversation. Only hiccup we had was finding the meeting point as the area was extremely crowded and we had not sufficiently accounted for that time, thankfully we were able to proceed with the shoot despite falling a few minutes behind. We will definitely book again when we visit in the future!
Friendly and Talented Photographer!

I took my girlfriend to...

I took my girlfriend to have pictures taken for her birthday and it was truly a superb experience. The image quality was amazing and we saw many backstreet areas of Kyoto that I had no idea about. I would recommend this to my friends and anyone thinking about going to Japan.
Short but fun photoshoot experience

We engaged Satoshi for a photoshoot in Kyoto and aside from our late arrival and missing the meeting place as we were given wrong directions by multiple people from the subway station, the photoshoot itself was a nice and fun experience. Importantly, the photos turned out nice and the choice of location too. Satoshi put us at ease and he felt like a friend bringing you around on a private walk.
