A Modern Kimono Photoshoot in Osaka

Forget the standard kimono photos. Kimono doesn’t have to mean standing in front of a temple, smiling at the camera. This activity puts kimono into the real streets of Japan. You might shoot beside a vending machine, in a quiet alley, surrounded by greenery, against bold architecture, or somewhere you simply happen to discover along the way. The goal isn’t to make you look like a tourist wearing a kimono. The goal is to make you look like you. During this one hour photoshoot, I’ll direct your poses, find interesting compositions, and turn the streets around us into your backdrop. The result is a set of 25 carefully selected, professionally edited photographs with a more modern, fashion-inspired feel. Kimono rental and basic hair styling can also be arranged for approximately 5,000 yen per person. This isn’t the traditional kimono photoshoot. That’s the point. Available in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe.

Meet your photographer at the selected kimono rental shop. Your photographer will help coordinate the kimono rental and basic hair styling before accompanying you to the start of the photoshoot. Once you are dressed and ready, the one hour creative photoshoot begins. We will explore interesting streets and neighborhoods, stopping at unique locations to create modern, fashion-inspired photographs. You will receive posing guidance and creative direction throughout the shoot. The photography session includes 25 professionally edited digital photographs. The total experience takes approximately 2 hours, including kimono fitting and hair styling.
