Ayana, Localgrapher in Osaka

Style:

My style tends to veer more on the vibrant side of things with color. I get inspired by backgrounds that contrast with what someone is wearing. I make sure to get general poses as well as poses that reflect the person’s personality. Since I enjoy having conversation, I do my best to find out what the person likes and dislikes. If they are a traveler I ask where they have been already and what they want to try and give them suggestions.

Likes:

1. I love making people smile and feel good, therefore my hobbies of taking photos and DJing do just that.
2.  I enjoy eating good food and I am always on the search to find good and cheap restaurants.
3.  I am a big fan of traveling and although I have only visited 5 countries so far, I plan to triple that number in the near future.

Recommended places:

I love to shoot in Nakazakicho because there are a lot of different cute little buildings/shops to take a nice photo in front of. Some of the shops are so cute, I also go inside and check them out. Another favorite spot is a bit touristy but I love Osaka Castle Park. Especially during certain flower blooming periods. Because of that, I can get good shots of people in front of the castle and around the castle with the flowers and other foliage. My third favorite place to shoot is the back streets of Namba or AmeMura. I like the grittiness of the streets that also are filled with a lot of color and life.
