Description
I'm a professional Tokyo-based photographer specializing in cinematic street and portrait photography. Having photographed more than 2,000 clients, I bring years of professional experience and an intimate knowledge of Tokyo's streets to every session. Rather than simply taking you to the usual tourist photo spots, we'll use Tokyo's neon streets, hidden alleys and overlooked corners to create images that feel personal, distinctive and unmistakably Tokyo. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, with friends or celebrating something special, the shoot is shaped around you. No modeling experience is needed — I'll guide you with posing, movement and direction so you can relax and enjoy the experience. This is a private, customizable photoshoot, and I'm happy to tailor the locations and visual style to you. Along the way, I can also share insights into Tokyo and local culture.

Best way to photograph your trip to the city
Deniz was fantastic. He’s both professional and easy-going, so very enjoyable to work with. I booked his private photo shoot service around the city, and from the get-go he knew exactly what photos he wanted to take and where, getting the most he could out of the time we had together. And the quality of his photos is amazing. He has a great creative eye for capturing unique, artistic shots. Would definitely recommend :D

If you are looking for an awesome photographer in Tokyo, Deniz is your guy! Professional, courteous, accommodating, fun, and incredibly kind. I had to reschedule twice due to conflicts, and he was super understanding (as long as his schedule allowed). He took the time to ask exactly what we were looking for—and he delivered perfectly. Highly recommend!
