Bespoke Commissions
Tailored experiences and creative collaborations.
For Stories That Don’t Fit Inside a Box
Some stories need more space. They might need to evolve across cities, seasons, or even continents — a creative journey that deserves its own shape and rhythm.
Bespoke Commissions are designed for couples, individuals, and brands who want to create something extraordinary: an editorial-inspired shoot, an anniversary journey across multiple locations, or an artful collaboration that blurs the line between personal and cinematic.
This is where storytelling meets freedom — no template, no boundaries, just vision and trust.
What is a Bespoke Commission?
A multi-day photography journey across Tokyo, Kyoto, and beyond
A creative brand or lifestyle story blending travel and portraiture
A fine-art anniversary session or milestone celebration
An editorial collaboration for magazines, designers, or tourism boards
Every commission begins with a conversation — about mood, location, wardrobe, narrative, and what emotion you want your images to hold.
The Process
1. Discovery Call: We begin with a short conversation to explore your vision, creative goals, and locations of interest.
2. Concept & Planning: Together, we develop a mood, aesthetic, and itinerary. Ayako assists with local logistics, permits, and styling if needed.
3. Creation: We shoot with intention — whether over a single afternoon or multiple days — letting the experience unfold naturally while maintaining cinematic focus.
4. Delivery: You’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery within 4–6 weeks, with optional fine-art prints or publication-ready files.
