This was my first real photoshoot so I didn't really know what to do or expect but Mina made the experience so seamless. He was very friendly, efficient, and professional. I felt super comfortable talking with him and getting to know him and his experience in Japan. He speaks perfect English which is very rare in Japan. He knew all the best photo spots in the city and showed me how to pose since I had no idea what I was doing. He also tailored the session to my personal preference by asking me what type of photos I'm looking to shoot and which angle is my better angle. After every shot he would show me the raw photos to make sure that I like them before we moved on to the next location. We even spotted a rare geisha and he used his japanese skills to talk to her and was able to get a photo of me and her, which was definitely the highlight of my trip. Overall, highly recommend!

Mina was fantastic and committed. It was unexpectadly raining and cold during our photoshoot, but he came through and gave me and my fiance a once in a life time experience. We would highly recommend booking him for your photoshoot.
Thank you Mina!

Very kind and great at taking scenic shots. Loved seeing the gardens this way. Felt like I was on America’s Next Top Model.

Our guide and photographer was Mina. He took great pics of my young daughter, and it is always hard to work with kids and he did a great job.

Mina was awesome and extremely nice and patient! My husband has a bad knee so walking from spot to spot for the photo shoot was difficult for him and Mina was very kind and patient and took his time to accommodate us. The pictures came out beautiful and he helped us make some wonderful memories for our first trip to Japan.

Mina was such a delightful photographer. He was patient, flexible, and, above all else, friendly! We managed to make the best of the rain in November and he took me through a series of shots with an interesting spread of natural colors and iconic architecture. When I asked to backtrack to a previous location with a new idea for a photo, he was happy to accommodate and edit the additional shots. I will have to take him up on a tour of his native Egypt. I would absolutely recommend this experience to friends and family.
