# Personal Brand Photoshoot in Shinjuku, Tokyo > Personal brand photoshoot in Shinjuku from $370: 30 minutes, a formal look among the Nishi-Shinjuku towers; a relaxed one east with an extra hour. 15 photos. This page as HTML: https://www.komorebis.cc/services/personal-brand/shinjuku ## In short A personal brand photoshoot in Shinjuku costs from $370 for 30 minutes: one look in one location and 15 edited photos, 3 with detailed retouching, within 3 days. The formal look is shot among the Nishi-Shinjuku towers and the Metropolitan Government Building; an extra hour ($150) adds a relaxed one in the lanes around Golden Gai or, with a permit, Shinjuku Gyoen. Shinjuku suits a personal brand shoot because the two halves of the station read as two different working lives. West is corporate Tokyo — granite plazas, glass lobbies, Kenzo Tange’s towers — for the headshot and the website banner. East is the city that people actually talk about: post-war lanes, bar signs, a shrine tucked between them, for the speaker bio and social posts. The base thirty minutes is one side and one outfit; an extra hour covers both, with a change in between. ## How the shoot is planned The base thirty minutes is Nishi-Shinjuku in daylight. We start with headshots in open shade under a tower canopy, then half-length frames on the stepped plazas with the Metropolitan Government Building behind you, and walking shots on the elevated walkways between towers. A hotel lobby can be added if you are a guest and the hotel agrees. With an extra hour for the second look, the change happens at your hotel or a station facility, then a 15-minute walk or one Marunouchi-line stop takes us east. That part is looser: the shuttered lanes of Golden Gai before the bars open, the stone approach near Hanazono Shrine where its rules allow, and the street life of Shinjuku Sanchome for candid frames. ## Timing Start the formal look in the afternoon, when the light between the towers is even; if you add the relaxed look, time it to end as the first signs come on, about an hour and a half after the start. Weekdays suit the west side, when the plazas look like a working district; on weekends they are emptier but quieter-looking. Avoid the rainy season if your formal look depends on clean pavements, or plan the formal look under tower canopies. ## What is included - 15 edited photos, 3 with detailed retouching - A shot list agreed from your brief - One setting and one outfit; more with extra hours - Private online gallery within 3 days - Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden: ¥500 entry; closed most Mondays.

A second outfit and location is an extra hour at $150. Hair and makeup is $100 and a short vertical reel $120; express 24-hour delivery is $80. ### Can we shoot the second look in Shinjuku Gyoen? The garden treats business photography as commercial use, which needs a permit from its office. We apply when you book; allow a few weeks. Without one, Golden Gai and Shinjuku Sanchome give a strong second look. ### Can I use the photos for my company website and press? Yes, for your own professional use — website, LinkedIn, speaker profiles, press kits. If an employer or client will use them in paid advertising, mention it when booking so the licence covers it. --- Komorebi · https://www.komorebis.cc
