Shooting it: Married in Kobe

Another engagement shoot article, this time I will be writing about 2 shots of a night photoshoot I did in Kobe recently! I am shooting in the night, and as a location I decided to choose a spot where it is not that crowded, basically there was nobody else around, and still we had some […]

Shooting it: Golden Hour

In this article I will be uploading couple of shots from the coolest time to shoot in the day – the Golden Hour! We have been shooting in a studio that day, and this shot has nothing to do with that shoot, but after it we just wanted to have some more fun, so we […]

Shooting it: Dancing Queen (Megumi)

Finally I’m gonna write about the shot, that is on the top screen of my homepage for a few months already, although I still haven’t officially uploaded it on any other social media until now! So here it is, with all the details about the settings, lighting / strobist setup that I’m using, and information […]

Shooting it: Asuka in the Temple

Here is another shot of Asuka at the same location as the previous atricle I have uploaded here! It is the small and nice temple in Amagasaki, called Joonji (長遠寺) a location which we often use for the shootings with her! I have already uploaded this article on the Creative Lightbrary website, but this time […]

Shooting it: Asuka in the Temple

Here is another photoshoot of the model I’ve been shooting most by now Asuka! I can’t even count how many times we’ve been shooting together! So this time we took some photos I guess nobody usually takes in a Japanese Temple, hehe, I guess not many people would go with this fashion there! That day […]

Shooting it: In The Blue (Using gels)

This article will be focusing on using strobes to create shadows and leading lines. After I uploaded the photograph, I had more than 10 people asking me is it photoshoped, and how did I lit it. Well, it’s not photoshoped 😉 In this location I am basically shooting from complete darkness, so everything on the […]

Shooting it: RULU in a rainy night

This article will have 2 different setups included. This photoshoot was taken in Osaka, in a winter rainy night, where the first shot I will talk about is taken outside in the rain, and the second is taken in a warehouse close to Osaka station, where we could shelter from the rain! The first part […]

Shooting it: Colorful Spiral

This time I’m having one hard strobist shot to talk about! It is taken at a nice location near Osaka, where I’ve been shooting a few times, and I guess you will remember it if you see this shot: CLICK, that made many people start asking me to shoot them there! Well, fine, but after a […]

How to: HDR (detailed)

Some time ago I uploaded an article about the making of HDR images. Anyway it was not very detailed, and after a few months now I decided to re-upload it, and this time write a little bit more about the whole workflow of my HDR processing, so here it is now! First, let me talk […]

Shooting it: Rainbow Stripes

My next journal entry will be about one project we are doing with my friends, who are making some really interesting make-up artwork, and I’m honored to have the chance to take the photos of their work! I will insert their profiles in the end of the article as well! Now this one was… awesome, […]

Shooting it: Under One Umbrella

Here is a shoot from last Christmas I did in Kobe. The location was around the harbor area in the city, and I clearly had that concept with the umbrella and the silhouettes of a couple lit from behind. I had the idea, but actually I didn’t think I will do it there, just happened […]

Shooting it: In a Cage

Here is a photoshoot of my friend and model that I shoot pretty often, Misa. We were a pretty big team of people, having some fun time in the studio. In this shoot everyone is doing what they are best at doing, designer, make-up, hair and photographer! In the details of the shot down you […]

Shooting it: Shining Stars

Here is the lighting information of another self-portrait I did some time ago! That was a cold spring rainy night in Kobe, and I had just been back home from school, wet and pissed at myself why I went out without the umbrella! But after I was back home, that rain was really tempting me […]

Shooting it: Rock Me!

This is a photograph of a friend of mine and a classmate in school, Mo! He is really cool bro, and we’ve been thinking to shoot him with his bike, and we’ve been thinking of that for almost an year I guess… so finally here it is! We shoot in the evening close to Osaka […]
