Highlights
  • Tokyo - While I usually love to take my clients to Shinjuku to see famed places like Omoide-Yokocho, Kabukicho and Golden Gai this tour can be customized for any part of Tokyo including other famous and not so famous areas. Day or night. Prefer the calm serenity of a photoshoot and tour at a temple to the bustling city aesthetic? That is no problem! I host Tokyos largest photography meetup twice weekly at various parts of the city so I know a lot of great spots to tour if somewhere outside Shinjuku is preferred.
  • Omoide Yokocho - Otherwise called Memory Lane is a charming and small alleyway of cramped little bars and eateries in Shinjuku where people meet for drinks and dinner for a quintessential Tokyo experience.
  • Kabukicho - Kabukicho in Shinjuku is the most densely packed, neon-burning, boisterous yet safest red-light district in Asia and, possibly, in the world. Very tourist friendly and a must see!
What's Included
  • 10 high-resolution professionally retouched photos of your choice
What's Not Included
  • Food or drink
Additional Information

Welcome to the bustling, mysterious, romantic city of contrasts I call home, Tokyo.

Photography is my profession but more importantly my passion and I’m confident the work I deliver will be unique and worthy of the time and money invested in capturing your best memories. Whether you are solo, a group of friends, or needing engagement memories!

I’m offering my original style of portrait photography in known and some very unknown places. As I host Tokyo’s largest twice weekly photography meetup all over the city, I know these streets intimately. I love connecting with people and seeing them shine through the lens as we create wonderful art together!

You absolutely don’t need to be a model or have any experience as I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.

I will also give you a lot of insights into Japan and the local culture!

Lastly, the tour can absolutely be tailor-made to your specific requirements.

Very professional, high quality shoot! - It was my first photoshoot and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I’m very happy with the photos, especially the edited versions. Deniz knew all about the best locations so that was very helpful too. Would definitely recommend him as a private photographer!

Two Fabulous shoots in Tokyo! - I had the pleasure of working with Deniz for two separate photoshoots. The first was a daytime shoot in Shinjuku where I was all glammed up in drag, and the second took place in the evening in Shibuya where I portrayed my authentic self. Both shoots were incredibly enjoyable, and the resulting pictures were absolutely fabulous! Deniz is not only a total professional but also a genuinely friendly guy with a remarkable talent for capturing portraits. He perfectly captured my chaotic energy during both sessions. In addition to Deniz's skills, his partner Miqri, who worked behind the scenes on video, was fantastic! She's a native Japanese dance teacher and has a knack for capturing those spontaneous, fun moments between shots. Moreover, she took the time to teach me some Japanese and how to properly pray at Shinto temples. This unexpected cultural aspect added a lot to the experience, and I truly appreciated it. Deniz also delivered some incredible video content for me, as I had requested both photos and videos during my first shoot. I provided him with a concept and a few references beforehand, and he completely understood the assignment. I'm eagerly looking forward to sharing all the content we created against the backdrop of Japan. Working with Deniz and Miqri was definitely a highlight of my trip. Thank you, Deniz and Miqri, for capturing my essence so beautifully!

Loved this experience!! - Can’t recommend working with Deniz enough. I had been running late and he was so accommodating and so understanding and still created such a wonderful experience for me. We still had such a fun shoot and I even got to see more of the city I’d never been to so it felt like a tour as much as a shoot which was really great. I loved getting to see some of the shots during the shoot too so I could get a sense of poses I liked and how I might want to switch it up in the next shots. If you get a chance, highly recommend booking this!

Definitely Book this Photographer! - Can't say enough good things about this experience! Deniz made me and my partner feel completely at ease and you can tell he's been doing this for a while as he was pro from start to finish. The session was like a mini tour of some great, local spots and the photos turned out perfect. Would definitely recommend him.

Highlight of my trip! - I’m usually quite shy when it comes to having my photographs taken, but I really wanted the memories of Tokyo to take home with me. Deniz made the experience so easy and actually a lot of fun. Absolutely outstanding photographer! Not only did the photography session exceed all my expectations he was able to achieve stunning shots with incredible attention to detail. Overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Best photographer in Tokyo - Deniz was prompt and professional. He made me feel so comfortable as we walked and talked. not only do you get an amazing photo session you get a mini tour of the city. He knew all the right spots for the best pictures and I am so happy with the outcome. Without even mentioning Tokyo in my pictures, he was able to capture me and the city, and everybody who looks at them, immediately knows where these pictures were taken. I cannot recommend him enough, when I’m back with my family I will be using him again. Thank you so much

Awesome experience and photos - Book a shoot with Deniz for Tokyo memories. He brings great skills and energy. Has excellent local knowledge and brings light, uses color contrast to highlight you. Love my photos! I’m excited to post and show my friends. Tips: practice a few poses before, expect people to be around you, laugh and roll with it.
