Intro This time I will be uploading a series of 3 different articles, well actually all of them were taken at the same day, using the Nissin Japan company studio, and they were kind enough to even video tape the whole shoot, so I will be embedding their video in the article! This is the […]
Intro So here I wanted to really mess up the colors, and I’ve been thinking about that concept for long time! What would happen if you lit something with for example RED LIGHT, but try to tell your camera that this is actually white, by fixing it with Custom White Balance? And if that really return the […]

Osaka Sky Building: One of the most beautiful escalators! With this article I am starting a series of articles that will introduce some of the spots I’m shooting more often at! I will not write too much here, you can just see the photos below! So the first location I want to show you is this escalator, […]
Intro I’ve already posted as a separate strobist article (CLICK HERE) some other photographs from the same shooting day, and now I have another setup from that photoshoot! It is a photoshoot of Asuka from some time ago, we are shooting in some area with a lot of temples in Amagasaki, Hyogo! In this photoshoot […]
In this photoshoot I will be using some big softboxes with Profoto lights to shape the light on the model! I’ve always wanted to shoot with some Octabox but for some reason never really decided to get one and do it, so finally I found the beautiful light it creates and I’m getting addicted to […]
Intro In this article I will introduce some shots taken in the Japanese exotic island, Okinawa! That is one of my favorite locations to shoot, and when I go there I forget about my everyday life! For this photosession I’m using only one light for all the photos, and it is the same modifier for […]
Intro This time it will be a wedding photoshoot with very simple lighting setup, one I’ve been using on locations quite a lot, and still am when I am! For this shot I’m using only one shoot-through umbrella, balancing it with the ambient light I have to create some soft light on m model! Gear […]
Intro I’ve really been having lots of fun with the Light Blaster recently! Here is another series of photos taken using it for background modifier! Last month I had some really big strobist seminars in Tokyo and so many people have been asking me about the gear I will be talking in this article! The Light […]
Now I will be posting an article from one of my favorite locations in Kobe area, the abandoned Maya Hotel, it is a massive construction on the mountain next to the city and I like
Intro Shooting with stroboscopic photos can be quite easy if your strobes actually have Multi mode, but what if they do not support it, and they are just some manual flashes? This is what I will write in this post, it is a dance stroboscopic shoot, and for it I use only manual way to fire […]
Intro Last week I had some really big strobist seminars in Tokyo and so many people have been asking me about the gear I will be talking in this article! Also it is the first time I upload photos taken with the Light Blaster – a pretty cool modifier which can project images on the […]
Another night shot taken around my neighborhood industrial area which I love shooting at! This time I’m using some new gear that I started using recently, the ROGUE accessories, and some info about them I have in the end of the article! Also one of the things I quite like doing is playing with color […]
Here is something I haven’t been uploading on my page by now! It is a photograph for which I’m using stroboscopic effect, which is quite interesting for shooting moving objects! I’m explaining in detail how I’m doing it and what equipment I am using for it! Strobist Setup For this setup I’m only using 2 […]
For this article I’m using what I would usually use if I go somewhere with only one modifier and I need to be quick in the setup – a shoot-through umbrella! I am preparing another article with example photos taken only with this type of light, I hope it’s going to be out soon! Strobist […]
This is a set of shots for which I’m using color filters to paint the background in some interesting way! Playing with lighting filters is I may say one of my signature techniques since not that many people are doing it around where I’m shooting, and it helps me make some interesting and different results! […]
Since typhoon is happening again in Japan now, time to write this article that I’ve been canceling for long time already, it is a photoshoot in the hard rain and wind form last year, a really extreme one, but that feeling is what makes us pleased after it is finished! We were I guess too crazy to shoot in the seaside, while the typhoon was actually happening!
One of the fun things for me to do since I started photography a few years ago is to just get my gear, go out in the middle of the night, and shoot myself… alone in weird situations! Well, here is another shot from this series! And to make it clear, it has nothing to do with Halloween, just coincidence to upload it at the same time!
Here are couple of shots from a project I was a part of recently! Basically we have been using some really nice Jacquard fabric textile, that was a subject of an exhibition, and we wanted to create some nice visuals about it! You can see some details for the lighting, and the whole preparation of […]
In this post I will be very short, because it’s a simple one light, shoot-through umbrella shot! And that was actually the time when I had my first touch to the lens I started loving later, the 135/2, that I was borrowing from my friend we were shooting together! I guess about 6 months after […]
