Out again today to the streets of Tokyo for capturing some night portraiture. If you follow my blog you know that I love night in the city, and consequently I love drama and deep strong shadows in my photos. Portrait shots are no different. So we popped outside today to capture a few urban portraits, in a semi glamor slash fashion feel to it. This portrait was shot at a funky angle, with one speed light lighting my model, the rest of the lights are reflections or ambient light on the scene. If you wish to have your portrait photo taken, feel free to contact me directly. To see more of my work, simply browse my portfolio.

Hire a photographer in Tokyo Buy original Chinese and Japanese calligraphy art I wanted to do this photoshop manipulation for a long time, just needed a self portrait photo to be able to create it. Last week we were shooting some portraits with my wife and she took the photo you can see at the very bottom of this post. So today I found some time and changed myself into a werewolf. First I thought to composite myself into some horror scene or some dark dungeon, but all werewolf photos are the same, so, I sat down and wrote the calligraphy for it. It read 激情 which means FURY. I recorded the editing and photoshop manipulation so I will post it later on. Enjoy! My Youtube channel with free photoshop tutorials Photography workshops in Tokyo - click for more details.

Hire a photographer in Tokyo Buy original Chinese and Japanese calligraphy art It has been raining in Tokyo, so I decided to stay home and shoot something wet and steamy, just like the weather. Whenever I shoot boudoir or nude photography I love working with deep shadows, drama and lots of contrast. Erotic and sensual photography should be teasing and untold, leaving something for the viewers to want to discover on their own, or even leave certain things vague. Here is first version of this shot, perhaps I will re-edit this photo on another day in black and white or some different toning. For boudoir / nude photoshoot booking please contact me directly.

I have added my Japanese calligraphy to the photo, which reads 翔心 - i.e. soaring mind. I also added some bokeh (from Japanese word 暈ける, which means to fade or to blur) and lens flare to make it more stage like or even cinematic.

I have redone this portrait of Nicole today, added make-up, reshaped the face lines with shadows, and added some skin texture. This is the first time I actually had to increase and amplify skin texture. This was shot in high key, plus the model's skin is insanely smooth, so the skin texture was very shallow. A tricky photo to edit but lots of fun. Also, since the eyes are now more powerful and strong due to make-up, and colour splash, I cropped the photo tighter to make the image even more intense. previous version
