So here is the a BTS article of one of them, well probably one of my first shoots! I'm having info of the gear I have been using and some of the final shots in the end of the article! Also I am having a making video for the photoshoot, make sure you check it out and also subscribe to my YouTube channel!
Photoshoot in Bulgaria, Plovdiv Old Town / ブルガリアの街並みでポートレート撮影
Many of you guys know that my signature and favorite lens is the Canon EF 135mm F/2, but actually there is another one that I really love, and for most of my photoshoots I go with just that 2 lenses! The second one is Canon EF 24mm F/1.4 lens! Yeah, is is a wide angle prime lens! It has very little distortions, not that this matters a lot for what I am shooting lol, and it has really great
Gear: Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L II USM Lens
RoundFlash – RingLight & SoftBox is a really cool modifier, I've been using as a main light quite a lot for my recent photoshoots! It's very handy easy to setup, and has really beautiful light especially for closeups! I also use it just as a softbox when I'm outside! Well, I have a few videos and a lot of shots taken with it, check them out below! Some things to mention about it! ラウンドフラッシュ

For long time I wanted to introduce you one of my favorite locations in the Kansai Area, where I live, Takedao! I've been shooting there so many times that I can really call this nice spot kinda my studio! It's really close to where I live, and it is easy to shoot there without being disturbed by anyone, since not many people are going there... well probably not after I post this article! lol Why I love Takedao
Locations: Takedao abandoned railway / 武田尾 廃線 トンネル 鉄橋 綺麗な自然
Japanese red leaves season is in it's most beautiful stage now, so here is another article with some photos taken in that beautiful time of the year!

Model for this photoshoot is Yuzuki Aizawa, I am shooting only
Shooting it: Red leaves portrait shoot with Helios 40-2 (strobist video)
Photographing people at night can be technically one of the most difficult time to do portraits, since using some lighting might be really essential and it is not as easy to go without using flash for example! But even at night if you look around there might be some items on the street that can be used to lit your subject! One of the most common light sources I would use for night portraits are
Natural Light Portraits at Night / 夜景 自然光 ポートレート
Here is a self portrait photoshoot, something I really have fun doing! We photographers very underestimate one very important thing when we want to shoot and don't have a model, it is that we could always shoot ourselves! For this shoot I'm also having a behind the scenes video, feel free to check it and also don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel, where I'm uploading
Shooting it: Self-Portrait with creative Body Painting / セルフ ポートレート
