Ambrotype (L) custom made wooden frame included

Important notes:

・The number of people that can be photographed: 1-2 people

・The composition is only the upper body (the whole body is not covered)

・Any clothes with some patterns are recommended rather than plain clothes.

*One male and one female yukata (casual kimono) available, free of charge. Feel free to use them for a memorable experience in Japan. (A changing room is available)

・If I find any defects such as blinking or being out of focus after the shoot, I will redo the shoot at no cost.

・Glasses will look a little darker, like lightly tinted sunglasses.

・In portrait photography, expressions are vital. At our studio, we use powerful strobes to capture natural expressions. With regular lighting, the shutter stays open for about 6 seconds, requiring the subject to hold their expression for that entire time. This often results in unnatural and stiff expressions. However, by using strobes, we can capture natural expressions, including smiles. To experience how people used to feel during their shoots, we can also shoot with continuous lighting (although this may cause slight blur)
