With your full resolution files you can make prints, photo books, or integrate the images into audio visual presentations. Share to social media, upload the files to an online printing service or simply put them on a thumb drive and take them to your local camera store. You don’t have to pay again when you want images as you have all the files at your fingertips.

Session fees do not include makeup / hair / wardrobe. If you’d like makeup done by a professional I can recommend makeup artists I have worked with in the past.

F.A.Q.s

Can you shoot me in my sports gear? Sure, no problem. Bring it with you. .

How quickly do I get the edited images? 72 hours. You’ll receive a link to a dropbox folder with your images within 72 hours of the end of the shoot.

What should I wear? You can change clothes several times during the session. I suggest a mixture of casual and more formal shots. Don’t forget to bring uniforms and equipment if you’d like to highlight your involvement in a club or sports team.

Can I bring my dog? Yes. The beach part of the session at the end of the day is perfect for getting pics with your dog.

High resolution files? How big can I print? I shoot with two cameras, both are the 61MP Sony A7RIV. You’ll be able to make huge poster sized prints from the files.

How long have you been taking photos? Since 2000. You can read more about me here: PROFILE.

Can you Photoshop the images? A surprise pimple on the day of the shoot will magically disappear. Other cosmetic changes can be made on request, but generally I keep things subtle and natural.

What if it rains? If there’s a storm or typhoon, we will reschedule the shoot. Otherwise we can work with whatever mother nature brings.

Where do the sessions take place? Session are usually in Motobu near the Churaumi Aquarium. It’s beautiful and well worth the drive.  It is also possible to shoot at other locations on request. 

Can I add the kimono option or the studio option on the day of the shoot? No, these options must be pre-booked so we have everything prepared, and have the extra time scheduled.
