Hi, I’m Tia Haygood, an English-speaking Tokyo portrait photographer and the founder of TOPTIA Photography. Welcome to episode 3 of my Jiko Shokai series.In the previous episodes, I shared a little about who I am and my journey to Japan. In this episode, I’m taking things back to where it all began: my first camera and how I fell in love with photography.Photography has been part of my life for much longer than my business. What started as curiosity eventually became a way of connecting with people, preserving memories, and helping others see themselves in a different light. In this video, I share a little about those early beginnings and why photography continues to inspire me today.Question of the day: What sparked your interest in a hobby, passion, or career that you still enjoy today?See you in the next episode.#tiahaygood #toptiaphotography #jikoshokai #photographer #tokyo

“I don’t photograph well.” It’s something I hear often, and it’s one of the reasons I’m passionate about helping camera-shy people feel confident in front of the lens.The truth is, most people who say this aren't worried about photographs. They're worried about how they'll feel being photographed.That’s why creating a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and valued is such an important part of the experience. During your session, we create space for you to settle in, be yourself, and move at your own pace. We guide you into natural poses, find angles that complement you, and encourage you to wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Our complimentary hair and makeup styling is designed to enhance your natural features, not hide them.With over 10 years of experience as a portrait photographer in Tokyo, I’ve seen countless clients go from feeling nervous about being photographed to genuinely loving their https://zurl.co/vP0e3 deserve to be seen as you are.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo

“I won’t know what to do during the photoshoot. I don’t want to feel embarrassed.” It’s normal to feel this way, and you’re not alone. Most people worry about how they’ll feel during a photoshoot. Because imagine booking a session with a portrait photographer and leaving feeling worse about yourself? Nobody wants that.My studio is a place where you’re not expected to perform, and you’re not expected to arrive confident either. My only hope is that you feel safe enough to let go of the mask, be present, and ease into the experience. You can expect a guided photoshoot, so you don’t have to come in knowing how to pose. You can expect space to find your rhythm instead of pressure to get it right immediately. You’ll be met with patience and care while you grow into the session.Be part of the hundreds of creatives and business owners in Tokyo who have trusted me with their vision and walked away feeling good, seen, and with portraits they adore.DM Portraits to start.#toptia #toptiastudio #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo
