I am shooting for a concert and the main guest is Tenor Singer 高柳圭. Here are some photos of the photo session at my studio.

About 2 years ago I took photos of Becky Frith in Burtigny, Switerland. She is a song writer artist from UK and a missionary in Switzerland. She just got a new CD at her website www.beckyfrith.com that I built for her. You can get the whole album in MP3 format online or have the CD mailed. I just heard the songs and it is amazingly beautiful. By buying her songs you will be supporting missions and her beautiful work.

 

After 3 days in Kumamoto  we finished the concert and the weather was just perfect. Summer is hitting Japan strong and we didn't have any rain during our time in Kumamoto. Here are some photos of the castle during day time and some other colors from Kumamoto.

Today I just got in Kumamoto with the gospel singer Ray and Minomo for their concert.These are some shots from the castle right in front of our hotel. Tomorrow I will be shooting the concert. Here are also some shots from our dinner... hum... good stuff. The meat stuff is horse meat, yes! In Kumamoto horse meat is really famous. Enjoy the shots from Kumamoto. 

Days ago I was at Yokohama Bay taking photos of a family. Great weather and the location was beautiful. I really recommend Yokohama for photos. Enjoy.

I just became the official photographer for "reine". This is a company that offers finishing schools such as manners, walking, posing etc. They do also image consulting and offers a total customized service. Here are some shots of the president of the company reine that I toke other day during one of their classes. You can check the list of instructors on this link and I am the last in the list.

Few days ago I shot the journalist A. I. for an interview CD cover at a studio in Minato-ku Tokyo. I have experienced several studios in Tokyo but this was a little different, quite interesting they way they built the studio. Wish one day I could build my own studio. Here are some shots of the set up and a test shot of me taken with a timer. Sorry I can not show the journalist photo but once the CD comes out I will be adding to this blog.

Few days ago I shot this family at the Koganei Park in Kodaira city. The weather was perfect and the nice wind was really refreshing. Overall it was an great shooting with the sun in the back and great lighting. But most of all is this beautiful family, more that I take photos of families, i am just in love of this work. I have been taken photos for CD covers and magazines but families are something else, it is just BEAUTIFUL. Enjoy...

Fiona Gifford was my communication professor at university in Switzerland. She was in Korea speaking about communication and here is the pamphlet with a photo of her that I shot about 2 years ago in Switzerland. Fiona was visiting me here in Japan and it was her first time here! By the way just to let you know that she has been over 90 countries all over the world (amazing!). I added the original photo and an extra. Fiona, hope you had good time in Okinawa and hope you come back to Japan some day soon.
