Headshot Showcase

•

Every portrait begins with a conversation. We talk about goals, aspirations, and how our clients want to be seen. Rather than creating just one look, we focused on making images that could communicate personality, confidence, and versatility. We wanted to give casting directors in Tokyo and the US a glimpse of the different roles they could imagine this actor playing.I love translating someone's vision into portraits that help them move closer to the opportunities they're hoping for. What starts as a conversation becomes a portrait with purpose.#toptia #headshot #tokyophotographer #actor #casting

“Are there any clothes curvy women should avoid during photoshoots?”One of the most common things I see in the studio is the instinct to hide. When we feel a bit self-conscious, it’s tempting to cover up from the neck down in oversized, shapeless pieces. But on camera, completely loose fabrics can mask your natural shape and end up looking bulky.If you want to look your best, try to avoid items like batwing sleeves or completely loose, flowy tops that drown your frame. Instead, look for pieces that offer structure, especially around the upper body. And if you love a flowy top or dress, simply add a beautiful figure belt. It instantly defines your waist, creates shape, and honors your gorgeous curves rather than hiding them.The right styling is all about working with your natural silhouette to bring out the best in your portraits.#photographerintokyo #toptiatips #portraits #tokyophotographer #photoshootstyling

How many times have you thought, “I’ll book the photoshoot when I lose those 20 pounds,” or “I’ll do it after I get the promotion,” or “Maybe for my next big birthday”? It’s easy to wait for a "perfect" future version of ourselves to finally arrive. But what about the person you are right now?The you who has gained weight, lost weight, or is trying to accept the body they’re in today. The you who is thriving in a new career, or completely terrified because you're starting over. The you who is celebrating a massive win, or trying to hold it together. Through the highs, the lows, and all the messy, confusing in-between moments, you have been here, surviving, growing and thriving. That is what’s worth celebrating.Our Self-Love Legacy Portraits are an invitation to stop waiting until things are perfect, and to celebrate where you are. DM “Self Love Portrait” to celebrate yourself.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo

I was fortunate enough to photograph the incredibly talented singer-songwriter @jniquenicole before she left Japan. I first met J’Nique back in 2018 at the @bwijgroup conference, and even then, it was clear she was someone special.Years later, I was listening to a game soundtrack when I heard a voice that sounded strangely familiar. To my surprise, it was J’Nique performing “Weight of the World” from #nierautomata by @squareenix. I had no idea she had written and performed one of the game’s most beloved songs, with a fanbase that spans the globe. But J’Nique’s artistry goes far beyond NieR: Automata. If you haven’t already, take some time to listen to her album, This Is Only The Beginning Album. It’s a beautiful reflection of her talent as both a songwriter and performer.I’d wanted to collaborate with her for years, but never quite reached out. Then I saw her post announcing that she was moving back to the US, and I realized it was now or never. I’m so grateful I finally sent that message. Not only did we create these portraits together, but I also had the chance to attend her farewell performance in Jiyugaoka and it was absolutely TOPTIER.J’Nique is the definition of someone who boldly pursues her dreams while remaining completely herself. Watching her journey has been inspiring, and I can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes her.Wishing you nothing but continued success, J’Nique.💜#toptia #jniquenicole #tokyophotographer #photographer

One of the biggest concerns clients have before a portrait session is simple: "Will the hair and makeup actually suit me?"Over the years, our hair and makeup team has worked with professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, executives, and individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. Some clients prefer a natural Japanese-inspired look. Others feel more confident with a polished Western style. Many want something in between. Our role isn't to fit you into one beauty standard. We create a look that feels authentic to you.Just as importantly, great hair and makeup needs to work in two worlds: in person and on camera. Makeup that looks beautiful face-to-face can sometimes disappear under studio lighting, while makeup designed only for photos can feel too heavy in real life. That's why our stylists create a look that feels like you when you look in the mirror and photographs beautifully when the camera clicks.#photographerintokyo #tokyo #photographer #mua #toptiastudio
