Pricing Summary - The Bit You Want To Know Right Away
pricing starts at 27,000 yen
portraiture work varies greatly in scope, scale and complexity, as well as intended usage, and is therefore priced individually on a case by case basis
there’s also something called looks. While looks don’t typically feature in the type of portrait photography here, if you want to know about them, please follow this link: Looks
having said all of that, my rates are extremely competitive

The Rational
the prices I currently charge for non-commercial portraiture are extremely low. I am doing this because I believe any and everyone should be able to have a really good photograph of themselves. For example, my most popular custom package, based around a two hour portrait session, is a service I offer at around ⅛ of my regular commercial rate
Did I Approach You? The Original Unusual Pricing Bit
Sometimes I see people out and about in the world that I really truly jolly well want to photograph and I approach them. If that's you, our original arrangement still exists and we'll work out the details when you e-mail me or contact me via the form below
Location
your location: I travel to you, either your home, your office, your studio, atelier, factory or workplace, a nearby park, or wherever you feel would be good or would suit the look you are after
my location: you travel to me, and we shoot at my home studio, home environment and / or go to local locations I have scouted
Tokyo Portrait is so named due to the fact that the bulk of my work is done in Tokyo. However, it's important to note that I do work all over the Kanto region and, at times, even further afield. Also, please be aware that if you wish to travel to me, my home studio is located some 30 minutes north of Tokyo by train
What To Expect
Here is what to expect during a non-commercial session and afterwards
a session of reasonable length. What this means is at least the time stated for the particular session type. Realistically though, a session is done when it's done and if we need to go over a little, then that is usually fine
good and frequent direction and help from me
a fair number of photos to be taken, which I will later cull down to the ‘selects,’ from which the client then picks the desired final files. The number of final photographs depends on the arrangements of each particular session, but typically, clients receive anywhere from two to twenty final picks
approximately the same amount of time as the session to be spent on digitally processing the final picks
workload can vary, but expect digital delivery from around four to ten days
