Hi, I’m Dabai, a portrait photographer based in Yokohama who loves capturing real, relaxed moments that feel like you.

Before the shoot, we’ll have a casual chat so I can get to know you—your style, your comfort level in front of the camera, and what kind of mood or feeling you’re hoping to capture. Think of it as talking to a friend rather than preparing for a formal session.

On the day of the shoot, we’ll walk around your chosen location in a relaxed, easygoing way. I’ll guide you with simple directions, but instead of stiff poses, I’ll encourage you to do natural, everyday movements, things that feel like you.

I believe in what I call “premeditated candid moments”, gently guided shots that still retain the feeling of spontaneity. Even when I suggest a pose, my goal is to help you relax and act naturally, so we can capture moments that are both beautiful and real.

Throughout the session, I’ll be watching for those subtle, in-between expressions, the little gestures and glances that truly reflect who you are. That’s when the most powerful photos happen.

My wife is a professional makeup artist with a certified Japanese makeup license. We also offer hair and makeup services as part of the photoshoot experience.
