Headshot Showcase

•

We know the moments before a photo shoot can feel a little tender. You might be excited, but also thinking about details. What to wear. How you’ll look. Whether you will feel like yourself on camera.That’s why we offer complimentary hair and makeup right before your session. It’s one of the ways we help you arrive feeling cared for, calm, and ready.You’re in good hands. We work with four trusted stylists, and each of them is familiar with a variety of skin types, skin tones, and makeup styles that suit both Japanese and international audiences.We build in real time. For many sessions, the shoot itself is up to 90 minutes. Pre-shoot hair and makeup typically takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the individual, so we often ask clients to allocate up to 3 hours with us. That time is not extra. It’s part of the experience.Studio or on location. And if you are shooting in our studio or at the location, we can support you there too.#photography #art #aestheticphotography #photographer #portaitoftheday #creative #expression #toptia #toptiaphotos #toptiaphotography #japan #photography #photographers #resilience #business #entrepreneurship #creatives #freelancer #headshot #photographerintokyo #tokyophotographer #headshotphoto

Her Work Is Wellbeing. Her Movement Is Flamenco.Meet Nanako Aramaki @lananako , a flamenco dancer in Tokyo, and someone who carries so much purpose in everything she does.Flamenco is a traditional Spanish art form that blends dance, guitar, singing, and rhythm through the body. It’s powerful footwork, expressive arms, and hands that speak just as loudly as the movement. I had to pay attention to timing, precision, and presence, because the magic happens in a split second📸.Nanako is also the founder of @zenso.wellness.therapy , and she is on a mission to reduce burnout in Japan and promote wellbeing through sound therapy and wellness coaching.So when I had the opportunity to capture her personal brand and tell her story through photography, I felt truly honored.If you’re looking for a personal branding session that reflects who you are and what you stand for, book a consultation with Tokyo Photographer. 2026 bookings are now open.#flamenco #flamencodancer #wellness #welnnesscoach #photographerintokyo

For Models in Japan: How Do You Prepare for Headshots or Brand Work?I often tell clients to rehearse for their headshot session like it’s a performance. The goal isn’t to memorize poses. I want you to tap into your main character energy before the shoot, so you arrive already connected to it.Not in a “put on a mask” way. In a rehearsal way. Because when you rehearse, you show up with more control, more range, and more ease. And that always translates on camera.Here are a few ways to rehearse your style of modeling (or acting) before your session:1. Do a mock shoot at home Set up your phone and practice holding an expression, then shifting it slightly. Think eyes, jaw, breath.2. Practice pose transitions Start with subtle changes before bigger movements. For example, wrist direction and shoulder angle.3. Get feedback Ask a trusted friend or another model what feels most authentic and strongest.Ready to work with a Tokyo Headshot Photographer? Send us a message.📸TOPTIA HOME Studio

“If you’ve ever thought, “I feel anxious in photoshoots,” this is for you. Almost every client starts a little unsure and most of the time, the issue isn’t confidence. It’s not knowing what to do and not having someone guide you through it.Here’s why our clients feel comfortable and like their photos:• We provide clear direction before the shoot, during consultation, and on set, so there’s no guessing.• We give you time to settle into your body, with space to move, pause, or reset when needed.• We pay close attention. If we sense tension, we adjust and help you feel at ease.You don’t need to arrive confident. You need a photographer who knows how to guide you there. Our clients leave feeling grounded, seen, and more at ease with the camera.For anyone considering a more guided experience, join our New Year, New You campaign, running January 23 – February 12.Send us DM or visit the link in bio for more information.📍@aaronjayyoung studio#photography #art #aestheticphotography #photographer #portaitoftheday #creative #expression #toptia #toptiaphotos #toptiaphotography #japan #photography #photographers #resilience #business #entrepreneurship #creatives #freelancer #headshot #photographerintokyo #tokyophotographer #headshotphoto

Do you feel seen and supported? And are you allowing others to lean on you?Many of the women I work with have led teams, built careers and businesses, raised families, crossed cultures, returned to work after time at home, and carried responsibility in more ways than one.Despite how much they’ve done professionally and personally, what many share is this: they don’t do it alone. They lean on their community. And they allow themselves to be leaned on. They know that strength doesn’t come only from independence. It’s also shaped by the relationships that hold you over time. The women who are resilient and thrive are rarely alone. They’re intentionally connected and aligned.As we move into the new year I encourage you to choose spaces where you feel aligned, understood, and supported. And spaces where you could add value to others.📸TOPTIA Home Studio#photography #art #aestheticphotography #photographer #portaitoftheday #creative #expression #toptia #toptiaphotos #toptiaphotography #japan #photography #photographers #resilience #business #entrepreneurship #creatives #freelancer #headshot #photographerintokyo #tokyophotographer #headshotphoto

Thinking about what to wear for your modeling portfolio? Here are a few ways to show range with intention.1. Bring different styles: casual, athletic, and formal. This helps clients and creative directors see how easily you adapt.2. Choose simple, neutral colors like white, nude, grey, or black. Neutrals photograph best and keep the focus on you.3. Incorporate different textures such as denim, leather, cotton, or satin. Texture adds visual interest without overwhelming the image.4. Well-fitted basics matter. They highlight your silhouette, which is an essential detail in modeling and often a key consideration for agents and clients.These small choices help keep your portfolio clean, professional, and versatile. And if you’re ever unsure about what to wear, that’s completely normal. We’ll decide together during the consultation, before the shoot.Curious about working with a Tokyo photographer? I’m happy to walk you through the process before you commit.📸 TOPTIA Home Studio
