A relaxed, professional photoshoot
capturing your trip and turning it into memories for a lifetime.
The portfolio
Real photographs from real sessions across Tokyo — the people, the atmosphere, and the small moments that make each shoot different.
Why Tokyo Moments?
Our photography is natural, candid, and focused on capturing real moments rather than stiff poses. We combine Tokyo's atmosphere with a distinctive visual style to create images that feel personal, timeless, and genuinely yours.
You don't need to know how to pose or have any modelling experience. We'll guide you throughout the shoot with simple directions while keeping everything relaxed and natural. The goal is for the experience itself to be just as memorable as the photos.
Tokyo can be overwhelming and the most famous spots are often the most crowded. We'll guide you through carefully selected locations, hidden corners, and the best shooting spots for the time of day, helping you experience a more authentic side of the city while getting better photos.
Who it's for?
Whether you're celebrating something special or simply want to capture your time in Tokyo, we'll create photos that feel natural and personal to you.
An unhurried shoot through the city, capturing closeness, fun, laughter, and your genuine connection.
Room for kids to be kids. We keep the shoot relaxed, playful, and full of movement, so everyone can stay natural and enjoy the photoshoot.
Your trip, with you actually in it. Professional and candid photos rather than selfie-sticks or asking strangers.
A day out with your favorite people, captured naturally. Laugh, explore, and enjoy Tokyo together while we capture the fun, energy, and connection between you.

I had a wonderful time on my photo shoot, and my photographer Jannis was amazing! He really took the time to understand the pictures I wanted to get, and with his knowledge of the area took photographs in some of the best places.

Meet your photographer
Hi, I'm Jannis, your photographer in Tokyo.
I want your photoshoot to feel less like posing for a camera and more like exploring Tokyo with someone who happens to know where and when to take great photos.
The goal is simple: a genuinely good memory of your time in Japan, and photographs that bring you straight back to it.

Frequently asked questions
Not at all. Most of our clients aren't. We'll guide you throughout the shoot and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Our signature routes are in Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Asakusa, but you're not limited to them. If you have another area in mind, let us know and we'll help you plan a route that works. Longer sessions can also combine multiple nearby areas.
Each package includes a guaranteed minimum number of edited photos, from 15 with the Tokyo Snapshot to 75 with the Full Tokyo Experience. If more photos make the final selection, you'll receive those too.
Your edited photos are delivered as a private online gallery within 5 working days of the shoot.
Light rain doesn't necessarily mean cancelling. Reflections, umbrellas, and glowing streets can make for beautiful photos. If the weather makes the shoot impractical, we'll discuss rescheduling or the options covered by our cancellation policy.
