Joe was amazing! He is so good at guiding your photoshoot and helping you pose since it can feel super awkward. He took lots of great photos so I’m excited to see my 20 edited ones! ☺️

Joe is Amazing!

Joe is Amazing ! I love my photo! Joe was very kind and understanding when I was hot and sweating, he bought a bottle of water and tissue to dry off my face. Thank you Joe, for my beautiful photos of Japan .

Joe is the Best!!!

JOE IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!! I had the pleasure of partnering with his help during my mother and my recent trip to Tokyo. I had booked the timeslot and was concerned if there might be rain, but Joe was incredibly helpful, understanding, and supportive. He was the ultimate professional. His recommendations on locations, poses, angles, timing and more were fantastic, accurate and much appreciated for him going above and beyond. The pictures we received are absolutely amazing!!! He surpassed our expectations! I've hired other photographers from other cities while traveling and it's been a mixed experience. But Joe is absolutely gifted and our most favorite photographer by some margin. What was the most impressive was he approached me like a friend, gave great recommendations of sites and restaurants around the city, and offered to be of any help if we had any questions. My only regret is that I did not meet Joe earlier. Joe exemplifies outstanding care, class, and integrity. I have recommended my friends and family of his stellar quality of work, and will be sure to partner with him again on the next Tokyo trip.

Highly recommend, so happy we did this!

My husband and I wanted to take some photos to celebrate a big wedding anniversary while we were on our trip in Tokyo. We were extremely happy and grateful for our time with Joe, he made us super comfortable and the entire process seamless and fun! It honestly felt like we were hanging out with a talented friend that took amazing photos of us for an hour lol! Thank you Joe for doing such an amazing job with the photos, we will always cherish those memories you captured for us :)

Great photos!

Joe did a fantastic job. He was great company and took loads of photos! It was good to see different areas. He was really quick to send over all the photos he took and also suggested places for me to visit for food as well! Definitely recommend!

We had the best time with Joe! He was so kind and patient while we nervously tried to look more comfortable while taking the photos (first time taking photos professionally as a couple). He also sent us food recommendations after we finished! Thanks, Joe!:)

How was excellent! He was communicative before, during and after our shoot. He has a great eye for angles and good knowledge of where to get the best pics. We liked him so much, we will be doing another session with him next week.

Fantastic photographer for travelers

Nicole_P, Feb 2023
Wanted to get some nice photographs to commemorate my first trip to Japan. Booked Joe and he was great all throughout. Communicated clearly about logistics. Recommended good places we could take shots. Has a good eye and captured the city well. Thanks so much for all the lovely photos!

Felt like a model!

kaleb_a, Nov 2022
This was so much fun and incredibly easy! I was a bit nervous as I do not do photo shoots or professional photos, hardly ever! But the photographer made me feel so comfortable and was completely easy to work with. I have amazing photos that will last a life time! Arigato!

Really nice Shibuya photos!

Melody_M, Jul 2021
I really enjoyed my photo session with Joe earlier today! He was very flexible with the time due to the rainy season, and gave me good directions for the meeting place. The photos look really nice and will be wonderful souvenirs of Shibuya! He's also very nice and personable. This is a really nice alternative to taking selfies or asking strangers to take your photo. I highly recommend this activity!

Response from Host, Jul 2021

I enjoyed the shooting session and conversation with you! It's been a really long time sine I've got a guest from other countries! Hope you enjoy Japan life and please be safe! I will text you if I have a change to go Fussa! Thanks a lot!
