Japan Kami 神

The spirit in the garden

Kimono, baby's breath, garden light. Double exposures where face and foliage merge — the kami, the spirit that dwells in all things.

Japan Taisei

Arashiyama, an afternoon for two

Taisei and his partner, in yukata by the Katsura River. A bench, confidences, a few laughs — a candid couple portrait between the mountain and the city.

Album 03 — 2026

Faded light

The shore, the mist, the wind

A day by the water, the light pushed until it fades. Lace, sand and backlight — silhouettes dissolving into pastel tones, like a summer memory growing pale.

02 — About

The photographer

I'm a young photographer based in Louisiana and Texas. I picked up a camera at eighteen, out of pure passion — first for flowers: their fragility, the way light settles on a petal.

Two years ago I met my wife, and I learned to photograph a person the way I photograph a flower — slowly, forcing nothing, waiting for what rises to the surface.

For me a photograph is what remains. That is why I work with double exposures and vintage light: to keep not only a face, but a presence.

I mostly shoot solo portraits, and couples by exception. If you'd like to be photographed, write to me.

Questions

Good to know

What should I wear?

Soft, plain fabrics in muted or pastel tones work best. Avoid big logos and busy patterns. Bring one piece that feels like you.

Where do sessions take place?

Mostly outdoors in Louisiana and Texas: gardens, shores, golden-hour light. Tell me where you would love to be and we will find the right spot. Other places on request.

What is a double exposure?

Two images blended into one — your portrait and flowers, leaves or a landscape — so that you and the setting become a single picture.

How many photos will I receive?

5, 15 or 30 retouched photographs, depending on the package you choose.

What if it rains?

We move the session to another date at no cost.

Do you photograph weddings?

Not at the moment. I focus on solo portraits, and couples by exception.

Can I win a free session?

From time to time I run a giveaway on Instagram: the winner receives a free session in exchange for a signed image release and a short testimonial. Follow the studio to hear about the next one.
