Hi, I’m Tia

I love photographing camera-shy clients into confident professionals who want to show their authentic selves.

“How do I pose for my body type?” I hear this all the time during my consultations. So many women with gorgeous curves come into my studio feeling unsure of how to move in front of the camera, or wanting to hide.In this video, I’m breaking down simple tricks you can try at your next shoot, like creating space between your arms and body, and leaning gently to highlight your natural shape.Your curves are beautiful, and you deserve portraits that make you look and feel incredible.#photographerintokyo #toptiatips #portraits #tokyophotographer #toptia

One of the greatest compliments a photographer can receive is when a client comes back. These portraits are of a client I first photographed over 10 years ago. Seeing him return for another session was a reminder of why I love what I do and how my clients trust me even a decade later.Every portrait session begins with a vision. Sometimes clients know exactly what they want. Other times, they simply want to feel more confident, professional, or like themselves in front of the camera. My role is to listen, understand what matters most to them, and create images that reflect who they are.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo

Have you ever stood in front of a mirror trying to practice poses, only to feel awkward and wonder, "What do I do with my hands?" Or maybe you've looked at a photo of yourself and thought, "I never know how to pose." If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.The truth is, you do not need to know how to pose before your photo shoot. In my sessions, guiding you is part of the experience. From our first conversation, I take the time to understand who you are and the kind of portraits you're looking for. During your session, I'll gently guide you every step of the way with simple prompts, natural movements, and encouragement so that you never have to wonder what to do in front of the camera.My studio is a supportive space where you can relax, be yourself, and let your authentic personality shine through. You don't need to arrive camera-ready. You simply need to show up."DM "CONSULTATION" if you're ready for a photo session that feels supportive, personal, and authentically you."#toptia #toptiastudio #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo

She arrived feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera. She left with a new profile photo she couldn't wait to use. Here’s what my client had to say:“You and Kanako had a lot of patience and I'm grateful for that. Usually I don't feel comfortable in front of the camera and posing is totally unnatural for me.The session was very smooth. I liked very much the part of taking pictures while talking about what I want to do in the future, with the no-so-office-style outfit. It really reflects the elevated and dynamic style, but still being "me", I was looking for.I shared the picture I took from the screen of the camera with a few people and everyone had good words. I decided to put that picture as the main one on my work profiles, despite the corset. A bit of chic doesn't hurt anyone.”#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo
