Biography

Hi, I’m Jayson, and I’ll be your private photographer in Tokyo or Mount Fuji.

I’ve been living in Japan for over 13 years, and Tokyo is truly the city I call home. Over the years, I’ve explored countless neighborhoods, hidden spots, and iconic locations, which allows me to guide you to the best places for authentic and striking photos. I specialize in photographing couples but also solo travelers who want natural, meaningful images that truly reflect their journey.

My passion for photography started early. I began creating short films and sketches as a teenager, and at 17, I bought my first DSLR. What started as a hobby quickly became a calling. Today, photography is my way of telling stories through real emotions and helping people preserve some of the most important moments of their lives.

Originally from the Philippines, my journey to Japan was shaped by family, resilience, and the desire to build something meaningful. That background deeply influences how I work. I value connection, comfort, and authenticity during every photoshoot, making sure you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera.

Join one of my photoshoots, explore Japan from a local’s perspective, and let’s create memories you’ll be proud to look back on.

My son & I were in Tokyo this year for the cherry blossoms🌸 I decided to hire Jayson to take some professional photos of us with the cherry blossoms in the background. Jayson was so fun to work with and he had creative ideas for us/our "poses" during our shoot. He was an excellent communicator before the shoot as well. I received my photos in 2 weeks after the shoot which is what he told me the timeline would be. I couldn't be happier with the photos I got and my overall experience with Jayson was amazing! I would definitely hire him again!

We are from FL and it was our first time in Japan during sakura (cherry blossom) season and we wanted to commemorate with a photoshoot! I picked Jayson because his past work was exactly what I was looking for, natural, sweet, soft, and uplifting. We communicated my preferences 1 month before the shoot and a few days to make sure we were on the same page. He provided great options for parks and we ended up picking Yoyogi! He gave us clear instructions, was punctual, and VERY easy to talk to! Such a wonderful person and he gave us good pose advice and direction. I would hire him again in the future! 🙂

Jayson is one of the best and most efficient photographer in Tokyo. I booked at such a last minute time slot and yet he is still able to confirm and deliver awesome photos at such a short time. He was so patient and accommodating as well. His editing and lighting on every photo is beautiful, very worth it! Thank you Jayson, definitely recommend to everyone ✨

Jayson was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. He was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our conversations leading up to my proposal. On the day of the proposal when we were running an hour late he was super flexible and stayed well past our originally planned time. We could not be happier with our experience and our pictures, and would definitely recommend Jayson to anyone wanting the perfect pictures around Mt. Fuji.

I was nervous about booking a photographer online (that I’ve never met) but Jayson was truly amazing. He was super knowledgeable about the area around Fuji and helped me plan the perfect proposal. He also saved me the morning of the proposal when I couldn’t find a car to take me to the proposal spot. You will not regret working with Jayson!

Jayson is an amazing photographer and new found friend. His vision and ability to capture the essence of the moment made our special occasion that much more meaningful. He gave clear instructions on where to meet up, and on the day itself for posing. Will recommend to any other friends looking to travel to Japan for a shoot.
