HEADSHOTS
The most important function of any headshot has little to do with showing your appearance—it is instead much more about communicating to your audience qualities you possess as a person, a prospective employee or client, an actor/model, or a purveyor of business. As such, when seeking headshots you need someone who does more than simply snap your photo—you need a headshot specialist who can coach and direct you toward an image that communicates your individual personality in a manner that is confident, trustworthy, and approachable. Let us help you elevate your professional image with expertly crafted headshots that appeal to a global audience.
Individual and group sessions available in Tokyo and surrounding areas. Learn more about the sessions below.
STANDARD HEADSHOT SESSION
The standard headshot session is intentionally designed to create a powerful visual message that resonates. Through expert coaching and direction, we'll guide you to an image that exudes confidence, trustworthiness, and authority—while maintaining a refined, globally appealing style, ensuring you look your absolute best, no matter where your career or personal brand takes you.
YOUR SESSION EXPERIENCE
We'll begin by reviewing the attire you've brought to determine which items will best compliment your headshots. This is an important first step, as what looks and feels great on you in person could be an unwanted distraction in your headshot.
Once we start shooting, you'll never be left to wonder what to do. You'll receive clear, detailed direction throughout the entire session. It's a collaborative, step-by-step process, so there's no pressure to be an instant paragon of confidence. We'll work together to find your most authentic, confident, and approachable expressions. You’ll also have opportunity to change outfits and try different looks. The only limit on the number of looks is time.
As we progress, we’ll take time to review images and figure out what works for you and what doesn’t. This allows us to adjust as we go, keeping only the good shots and quickly deleting anything that doesn't work. It also provides you the opportunity (as well as responsibility) to let me know if there is anything you personally feel we missed or could be improved upon. This way, if there are any issues, we can be certain they are addressed and corrected in the course of the session.
The session is entirely dedicated to crafting the best possible images of you. While the time required varies for each person, you can anticipate your session lasting between one and two hours.
IMAGE REVIEW AND DELIVERY
Immediately after the shooting, we’ll do a last review of all your top images and make some final selections. The images selected will receive a degree of retouching (skin and color corrections, stray hairs, etc.) to achieve a clean, yet natural and authentic look.
Your final retouched images will be delivered as high-resolution JPEG files, suitable for both print and web use. Unretouched images are not included in final deliverables. You can expect to receive a link to download the images approximately one week from the day of your session.
IMPORTANT SESSION DETAILS
Studio Location: We do not operate from a fixed studio location. A location will be arranged after confirming your session details.
On-Location Sessions: Sessions can be done at your home, office, etc. This however requires setting up a mobile studio (which includes a backdrop, stands, lights, and other equipment) in a space of adequate size. Please let us know if you're interested in this option when booking.
Hair & Makeup: Please note that professional hair and makeup services are not included in the session fee.
Image Orientation: Our standard headshots are captured in a horizontal format, focusing on the upper chest and head. If you require images with a vertical orientation, specific dimensions, or different cropping, please inform us prior to your session so we can accommodate your needs.
Usage Rights: We offer a standard usage license for personal and professional promotional purposes. If you require specific commercial or extended usage rights, please discuss this with us in advance.

MINI HEADSHOT SESSION
The mini sessions run similarly to a standard headshot session, but only in a more condensed manner. This means that while you still get the same helpful coaching and direction, there won’t be time to try different outfits, change backgrounds, or adjust makeup to see which will best work for your headshot.
It is also important to note that since there isn’t time to make significant changes to the setup between clients on mini session days, images will generally be shot in the style seen in the headshot portfolio.
If you feel you are the type of person who may need more time to get comfortable in front of the camera, if you want to have multiple looks, or if you want an image that will require a significantly different setup, the standard headshot session may be a better fit for you.
Please note that mini sessions are available only on a set date and the number sessions available for any given month is limited. The next mini session date is TBD.
MINI SESSION PRICING
¥20,000
up to 30 minute session
1 retouched digital image
You may purchase additional images for ¥5,000 each. Final images are digitally delivered in a high resolution and web resolution jpeg format. Unretouched images are not included in final deliverables. A non-refundable ¥10,000 deposit is required to reserve your session. (Why the deposit?) The remainder of your payment is due at the time of your session.

SESSION DISCOUNTS
RETURNING CLIENTS
The truth of the matter is your headshots, regardless of how well done, aren't going to last you forever. They're eventually going to need to be updated. The good news is that if you have done a headshot session with me once before, then you will be able to take advantage of my returning client discount. All returning standard headshot clients can receive ¥5,000 off the standard session and ¥2,000 off the mini session.
BRING A FRIEND
You’re probably not the only one who could use an updated headshot. If a friend, co-worker, family member, acquaintance, or anyone else you may know schedules a standard headshot session consecutively with yours, you will both receive ¥3,000 off the session price.
CLIENT EXPERIENCES
“A deeply inspiring and instructive experience. Anthony demonstrated exceptional skill in what’s important in setting up and mastering the pose, and then brought out my best with a snap. I cannot recommend a headshot photographer more highly.”
“I had an excellent experience shooting with Anthony. Very professional, organized, and easy to get along with. He made sure I was comfortable, and also taught me some techniques on how to pose in front of the camera. The results were amazing and exceeded expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a professional headshot done!”
“I worked with Anthony and his assistant on my professional headshots and it was a great experience. Anthony was patient with me and took his time to explain the whole process and share best practices on what it takes to get the best results. We also had few laughs during the shoot which made some of the more technical part of the process also enjoyable. The end results of the session were great and I am very pleased with how the images turned out. 5 stars service and results!”
“I was looking for a photographer who has the sensitivity and skills to deliver headshot photos that are unique and subtle to capture a very specific image of myself, and Anthony knows exactly how. He is professional and patient, willing to think from your perspective and offers very helpful instruction on posing techniques. The result is outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone who needs top-notch images done.”
“I could tell right away that Anthony is passionate about his craft and committed to excellence. From the nuances of poses to his patience allowing me to explore different looks….he cared not only about quality output but that I was happy with the outcome as well. He is definitely in the right profession. It’s gratifying seeing someone so at ‘one’ with their work.”
