Reviews

We are new in Japan, and this page says so rather than borrowing reviews from somewhere else. Reviews will appear here as clients leave them. We ask once, after the gallery has been delivered, and publish what comes back — we do not select for flattery and we do not remove a review because it is critical.

Each review will name the place and the type of shoot, because that is what makes it useful. “Great photographer” tells you nothing; a kimono shoot in Gion at 7 a.m. in cherry-blossom week, or a proposal at Lake Kawaguchi when Fuji stayed hidden, tells you whether the experience resembles the one you are about to book.

Until there are reviews, no score is shown and none is claimed. Once there are, the rating is arithmetic rather than editorial: it moves when the reviews move, and if the work slips it shows here first. A rating invented to fill an empty page would be a false statement to a search engine as much as to a reader.

If your own shoot did not go the way it should have, tell us before you tell the internet — the money-back guarantee is not conditional on staying quiet, and a refund and an honest review can coexist.
