Meet Cho in Tokyo

(102)

I really enjoy meeting people from all around the world and sharing our cultural feelings and thoughts. My photography style is simple, candid, and photojournalistic. As a photographer I love capturing natural moments. This means you don’t need to worry even if you feel shy in front of the camera🥰 Since 2017, I’ve been working as a photographer in Tokyo, shooting with over 300 clients every year. I focus on capturing the unique atmosphere of Tokyo, from famous landmarks to hidden spots.🏮 I also take care to ensure that our sessions are respectful of passersby and local shopkeepers. Don’t worry too much—just relax and feel free to reach out anytime! You can check the lovely reviews❣️📝⬇️

Three Things

  1. When I am not photographing I like watching movies from every country. I'm especially a big fan of the Japanese director, Koreeda Hirokazu. I've been studying his style of shooting and mise-en-scene through his movies to improve my photography skills. I prefer more candid and natural photos than staged shots. I focus on creating images that feel like still cuts from a movie, filled with atmosphere and emotion.
  2. A photoshoot with me is relaxed and easygoing. Many of my clients have never done a professional shoot before, so I guide them with simple directions to help them feel comfortable. You don’t have to worry about posing — I’ll help you feel natural in front of the camera while you just enjoy the moment.
  3. After graduating, I started working in marketing and sales with LG electronics for 4 years in Korea. I quit at the beginning of 2017 because I wanted to do what I love instead! After leaving the company, I flew to Spain to start the Camino de Santiago (pilgrim’s way to Santiago Compostela, Spain). While walking 20 kilometers every day for 30 days, I could focus on myself and think about my past and future. It was then that I made my decision and decided to come to Japan to work as photographer 🧡

Loved the pictures that were taken during this trip to Japan. Cho really captured what we had wanted in our pictures. He was easy to work with and my 2 boys felt really comfortable with him. We ran into some scheduling issues, but helped make the photo session work out. I would definitely recommend him!

Cho was absolutely amazing and very helpful. He of course knew amazing spots for photos and went above and beyond to get the perfect shot! The whole process went very smoothly, especially with it being a proposal. He communicated very clearly during the set up, picking the perfect spot and signaling when it was time to get on one knee.

Cho was great to work with! He was so kind and fun. He walked us through different poses and got all the backgrounds we had asked for and then some! If you’re thinking about booking don’t hesitate!

Cho was fantastic! Great energy, listened to exactly what I wanted. He even took us to the cutest photobooth for the last few min where he captured content but we also left with a great physical souvenir. Highly recommend!
