Great experience - I had a great photo shoot experience with Mina. He was interested in hearing what I had in mind for the photos and was open to creating the scenes that I wanted. It was a fun Kyoto experience and I highly recommend going for it!

Fun, friendly, knowledgeable guide - Erick was an amazing photographer and very friendly! He took us to some beautiful photo spots that were uncrowded and intimate! He also helped pose us very naturally, which was perfect for us as this was our first professional photoshoot together. We are so happy with our experience, and now we will have these pictures forever to remember it! A great deal for the price!

Great photo experience for a great price! - Mina was really kind and generous with his time. He was very accommodating with his schedule to ensure that we were able to get the best weather for pictures. For the price I was expecting to get a couple of pictures of my proposal. But I received a whole lot more! Definitely recommend :)

Excellent photos, Great value! - Mina was fantastic from start to finish! He told me where to go and how to pose which was super helpful as it can be overwhelming to walk around in a kimono in the summer. The photos are breathtaking and his edits are amazing. Excellent value!

Best photographer ever! Friendly, knowledgable, and professional! - This was my first real photoshoot so I didn't really know what to do or expect but Mina made the experience so seamless. He was very friendly, efficient, and professional. I felt super comfortable talking with him and getting to know him and his experience in Japan. He speaks perfect English which is very rare in Japan. He knew all the best photo spots in the city and showed me how to pose since I had no idea what I was doing. He also tailored the session to my personal preference by asking me what type of photos I'm looking to shoot and which angle is my better angle. After every shot he would show me the raw photos to make sure that I like them before we moved on to the next location. We even spotted a rare geisha and he used his japanese skills to talk to her and was able to get a photo of me and her, which was definitely the highlight of my trip. Overall, highly recommend!

Memorable Photoshoot - Mina was fantastic and committed. It was unexpectadly raining and cold during our photoshoot, but he came through and gave me and my fiance a once in a life time experience. We would highly recommend booking him for your photoshoot. Thank you Mina!
