Private Photoshoot Experience in Kyoto ( Gion )

Hesh was my photographer and honestly it was a dream working with him. He was patient and creative and worked to make my vision a reality. I take photos every place I travel and you can tell he loves what he does. 5 stars would absolutely recommend to everyone! Don’t hesitate to book!

I absolutely recommend you book Mina for a photoshoot during your time in Japan! He was fantastic. We told him about our goals and he chose the perfect location for our session. He took so many photos in different spots to give us options and was quick to upload and edit our chosen photos. He was great with our one year old and also gave us a bit of history/tour guide along the way as we traveled from one spot to another. Thank you, Mina!

We had such a great time doing this photo shoot! Mina was excellent-very talented and knew a bunch of spots to get beautiful photos. If you have an extra hour or so in Kyoto I highly recommend this activity!

This was such an incredible experience. Mina is truly a wizard behind the camera, his guidance on posing was natural and easy to follow, and he made me feel completely at ease throughout the session. As someone who’s typically camera-shy, I was hesitant at first, but I’m so glad I went for it. He captured some of my best memories in Kyoto so beautifully. I can’t recommend this enough!

Amazing experience — truly professional with an incredible eye for detail. The entire shoot felt seamless and natural. Kyoto was pure magic, but the photographer made it unforgettable. It’s not just about where you shoot, it’s about who’s behind the lens — that’s what makes the moment truly unique

We had an amazing experience with Mina! He took beautiful photos of me and my husband that we will truly cherish. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he also brought us to some stunning photo spots we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Mina was very helpful throughout the shoot—he guided us on how to pose naturally. On top of that, he shared many great recommendations about Japan that made our trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Mina if you’re looking for a professional, friendly, and knowledgeable photographer!

Great experience! Our photographer was fantastic and got some great shots and made us feel very comfortable. He sent the images right away and now we just have the difficult task of choosing among all the awesome pictures of what to have touched up :)

I had a fabulous photo shoot with Mina. He took photos in several places around Gion and took a ton of photos. He was a pleasure to work with and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to have their photos taken in Kyoto.

One of my favorite things to do when traveling with my family is to get some moments captured professionally. Despite choosing perhaps the absolute most crowded day to do so, our photographer, Josh, still delivered some of the most amazing pictures from our 2 week adventure in Japan. He connected so easily with my teen sons that he was able to get them to fully relax and be themselves. What they usually think of as a chore (family pictures), Josh turned into one of their favorite memories - modeling on the streets in Kyoto! We were all able to find so many images we individually loved as well as new profile pics etc for the socials! I know I will treasure these for years to come. Ask for Josh!!

Mina is extremely creative with his photography. Very patient and always guiding in the right direction - I went for family photo shoot in Gion with my 1year old baby boy Yuki! Beautiful memories captured by him - highly recommend :)
