Meet Manu in Kyoto

(6)

I was born and raised in Osaka! I love traveling, and I want to make sure you have a fantastic time during your stay in Japan. While we shoot, I'll also share tips on delicious food and recommend great places to visit in Japan. I want to make sure our photoshoot is always fun, so I enjoy chatting with you during the session. When photographing children, I play with them to make the experience enjoyable. If it's your first time having a photoshoot, don't worry—I will help you feel at ease and guide you into natural poses.

Three Things

  1. I used to be a school teacher, which was a very rewarding job. However, every time I traveled abroad, I felt a strong desire to share the beauty of Japan with tourists visiting the country. I wanted them to enjoy their travels and experience all the wonderful things Japan has to offer. That's why I decided to start this job.
  2. I love traveling, both domestically and internationally. I enjoy trying the local cuisine, taking in the scenery, and engaging with the people wherever I go. I also love riding bicycles and playing games!
  3. That feeling of wanting to bring joy to others is truly remarkable. Making people happy and entertained is something I hold dear in my life. It's what drives all of my actions, and without it, I wouldn't feel fulfilled.

Manu is the absolute best! My husband and I are celebrating our honeymoon in Japan and wanted beautiful photos to capture this trip. Manu is so talented & guided us through the best locations and poses to help get incredible photos that we will treasure forever. Plus he is genuinely the nicest person ever. We highly, highly recommend Manu!!

Manu was truly the perfect pick! From the quick response time through messaging, and giving me photo examples of proposal spots. The planned location was under construction which I wasn’t aware of until Manu told me, which had us promptly switch locations to one that he suggested and it was 100x better than what I could’ve imagined. He did great on masking the proposal to the last moment. Manu’s photos came out amazing and we love them all! Manu also gave us excellent food recommendations. He was the best choice, and I would gladly use him for photo shoots in the future.
