Hello, I'm Masa.

Are you looking for a Photographer in JAPAN?
I’ll ensure that your special moments are captured not only with high-quality photos but also as an enjoyable shooting experience.

More than 13 years of professional experiences.

I learned photography at a college in London, UK. I have been working as a professional photographer since 2012.
I am a dad of 2 children, and we love to work with couples / families with kids.

My photography style is…

My photography style is all about naturally documenting unique moments, and the real reactions of my clients.
With no set routines or awkward poses, I aim to produce truly unique photos.

You won't hear me asking you to say cheese or tell your kids to keep still.
I encourage you to relax as usual and enjoy the photo session, resulting in genuine and authentic photos.

If you would like to schedule a photo shoot, please kindly choose from the plans below and contact us using the inquiry form at the bottom.

  • What do you like to do for fun, when you're not taking photos?

    I love activities like travel, camping, snowboarding, hiking, and cooking.

    Among these, our favorite is traveling. I have been to more than 80 countries so far. My favorite is the Arctic Circle. My wife and I really enjoy meeting new people and discovering new places.

    And the time I spend with my wife and children is the most important time in my life.

    What is one thing you cannot live without?

    Of course, it's the camera that's always by our side. Even on our days off, we carry it with us and snap photos whenever a great moment presents itself. We always aim to capture the natural expressions of children in our photos. Whether they are crying, angry, or laughing, we want to document them just as they are.

    What is one fun fact about you that surprises or intrigues people?

    After years as a mechanical engineer, my passion for photography led me to switch careers in 2012.

    I love taking photos so much and I wanted to interact with people rather than sitting in front of my computer.

    Masa is engaged in artistic activities as a landscape photographer, showcasing his work in solo exhibitions and selling his photos.

    And with my wife, we create and share YouTube / Podcast content focused on Japanese language and culture.
