・Any clothes with some patterns are recommended rather than plain clothes.
*One male and one female yukata (casual kimono) available, free of charge. Feel free to use them for a memorable experience in Japan. (A changing room is available)
・If I find any defects such as blinking or being out of focus after the shoot, I will redo the shoot at no cost.
・Glasses will look a little darker, like lightly tinted sunglasses.
・In portrait photography, expressions are vital. At our studio, we use powerful strobes to capture natural expressions. With regular lighting, the shutter stays open for about 6 seconds, requiring the subject to hold their expression for that entire time. This often results in unnatural and stiff expressions. However, by using strobes, we can capture natural expressions, including smiles. To experience how people used to feel during their shoots, we can also shoot with continuous lighting (although this may cause slight blur)

Optional Services
Color print (3,000 yen)
You can order a color print of the same composition as the ambrotype. It will be stored on the inside of the top lid of the wooden case, so when you open the case you can enjoy the color photograph along with the black-and-white ambrotype.
Please let us know when you make your reservation if you would like this service. Since printing takes time, your order will be delivered to you by mail or picked up at a later date.

Modern frame (2,000 yen)
Choosing a frame that complements wet plate photography can be challenging, as the frame can sometimes overshadow the work itself. This frame features a thin, dark gray border that enhances the subdued elegance of ambrotypes and tintypes.
If you would like this option, please let us know when making your reservation.
