Japan through other photographers’ lenses
These are not our shoots. Every frame here is by a photographer on Unsplash, credited under the picture, and chosen to show the mood each kind of shoot can have in Japan. Use it to decide what you want; our own Japan galleries will be added as they are delivered.

The gallery is grouped by the kind of shoot, because that is how anyone planning one browses: you want to see couples, or families, or a kimono session. Filter by category and tap any frame to open it full screen.
None of these photographs are ours, and each one says so: the photographer is credited under the frame, with a link to their work on Unsplash. We are new in Japan, and we would rather show you good pictures honestly labelled than pass someone else’s work off as a portfolio. Our own Japan galleries are added as shoots are delivered and clients agree to them being shown.
What a Japan gallery will be for is calibration. A shoot at Fushimi Inari at 7 a.m. looks nothing like one at 11, when the gates are full; a kimono session in Gion’s public streets reads differently in November maples than in April blossom. If you want to know what your place and season will look like, ask — we plan each shoot around exactly that before the day.
