Cameraman • Videographer • Cinematographer
in Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo based since 2001, I offer professional video production services to overseas based clients wishing to shoot in Japan. With a background in cinematography/videography, I also edit and color grade, and act as a Field Director and Field Producer for clients who cant make it to Japan for their shoot.
I work closely with clients in the pre-production phase to understand what their vision for their production is, and use both my creative experience and my understanding of the culture and language barriers of working in Japan to help bring that vision to reality. Whether its corporate, documentary, narrative, live event coverage or live streaming, I can help bring your production to life.
Video Production Services
Pre-Production
In the pre-production phase of video production, I assist clients by helping to plan every aspect of their project, from conceptualization, to organizing logistics, equipment rental and crew hiring, ensuring a solid foundation for a successful production.
Production
During the production phase, I provide hands-on support and guidance, often overseeing the production on behalf of clients who can’t be in Japan during the filming, and ensuring that the creative vision is brought to life to meet your expectations.
Post-Production
In the post-production phase of video production, I work closely with clients using the latest editing and color grading techniques to refine and enhance raw footage, crafting a polished final product that exceeds client expectations and resonates with audiences.

Lets discuss the details of your video production in Japan.
As a videographer, my mission is to not only capture moments but to craft compelling visual narratives that resonate with my clients and their audiences. Whether it’s a corporate event, documentary or independent film, I tailor my approach to suit each client’s unique needs, ensuring that every frame tells a story that captivates and inspires. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, I strive to exceed expectations, delivering polished, professional videos that not only meet but exceed my clients’ goals, leaving a lasting impact.
Pre-Production, Editing, Color Grading
In addition to filming client’s projects, I help clients with the Pre-Production, Editing, and Color Grading stages of their productions.
Throughout Pre-Production, I assist clients in brainstorming ideas, refining scripts, and storyboarding to crystallize their vision. During Editing, I collaborate closely with clients to select the best shots, arrange them into a cohesive narrative, and integrate feedback to ensure the final product meets their expectations. In Color Grading, I work hand-in-hand with clients to establish the desired visual tone, enhance the mood, and maintain consistency across the video, ensuring it effectively conveys their message and resonates with the audience.
