Teru, Localgrapher in Tokyo

Style:

I specialize in capturing natural expressions and moments in a candid, snap-shot style. My goal is to not only provide my clients with beautiful, high-quality photos but also to make the photo shoot itself an enjoyable and memorable experience.
I believe that the key to a great photo is capturing the genuine emotions and interactions of the people in the picture, and I strive to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that encourages this.
Whether you’re looking for family portraits, engagement photos, or just some fun vacation shots, I would be thrilled to work with you to create lasting memories that you’ll cherish for years.

Likes:

I love staying active with weightlifting and running full marathons. I also enjoy studying and learning, with a recent interest in exploring different lighting techniques in photography. Also, I love editing photos, and I bring that enthusiasm to every shoot.

Recommended places:

I am pleased to offer my recommendations for some of the best photo spots in Tokyo. As a lover of the eastern part of Tokyo, particularly the old part of the city, I highly recommend the following locations:

Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree – These iconic landmarks are a must-visit for anyone coming to Tokyo. Asakusa offers a glimpse into traditional Japanese culture, with its historic streets, temples, and markets. Meanwhile, the Tokyo Skytree provides a modern contrast with its stunning views and towering height.

Ueno – Ueno is a great place for travelers to experience the local culture, as it is home to several museums, a zoo, and a large park. It’s also a vibrant area with many street vendors and food stalls, making it a fantastic location for capturing candid moments.

Zozoji Temple – Located near Tokyo Tower, this temple is a hidden gem that provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The temple’s traditional architecture and a peaceful atmosphere provide a beautiful backdrop for portrait photography.

Ginza Pedestrian Zone – Ginza is Tokyo’s premier shopping district, and on weekends the main street is closed to traffic, creating a pedestrian-only zone. This is a great location for capturing the energy and excitement of Tokyo’s bustling streets.

I look forward to the opportunity to capture your special moments at these or any other locations around Tokyo.
