Hi, I’m Tyler-C, your local photographer in Kyoto.
Kyoto is a city full of history, quiet charm, and hidden gems, and I’m fortunate to call it home. Whether this is your first time visiting or you already know the city well, I’d love to help you create unforgettable photos that truly reflect your experience.
I work regularly with solo travelers, couples including engagement shoots, and families. My focus is on portrait photography, creating images that feel natural, timeless, and personal. During our photoshoot, I guide you gently so you always feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
My work is inspired by traditional Japanese arts such as Ukiyo-e and Shin Hanga. These influences shape how I use light, texture, and composition, allowing me to blend Kyoto’s rich past with its vibrant present. From iconic temples and gardens to lesser-known spots, I’ll take you to locations that highlight the city’s beauty in an authentic way.
I look forward to meeting you in Kyoto and capturing moments you’ll treasure long after your trip ends.
What clients are saying about TylerC.
My photoshoot with Tyler in Kyoto was an absolutely amazing experience. He guided me with ease, creativity, and true professionalism, and the entire session exceeded all my expectations. Tyler captured the beauty and spirit of Kyoto and brought out the best in me in every shot. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable and deliver stunning results, he’s the person for you.
Tyler was an absolute pleasure to work with. He assisted with the kimono rental for us and offered multiple locations to pick from for the photos. The whole experience was really chill, we loved every second of it. Thank you!
Worth it! Never done this before but Chris was professional and communicative, and the pics came out incredible! Have fun while you get photos you’ll cherish forever
Working with Tyler was amazing. He’s a skilled photographer and my pictures are absolutely stunning! He also offers suggestions on how to pose and get the best shots. He’s familiar with the best spots around Kyoto. Including a katana in my shoots was a fantastic choice. I totally recommend Tyler for a shoot. You wouldn’t regret it!
Chris is a very professional photographer—cooperative and easy to work with. As someone who specializes in tourism in Japan, I can confidently say that he takes you to truly amazing locations, away from the crowds, so you can enjoy your photo session in complete comfort and privacy. On top of all that, his photography is absolutely stunning, and I always recommend him.
Tyler was quick with getting everything set up and was prompt with his responses. He took me to some placed in Kyoto which would have otherwise not visited, if it were not for him. One aspect I love from photographers is their knowledge of the city they live in as well as knowing the best spots to take pictures. I for one, am not used to posing for pictures, but he was very easy to work with and helped me along the way to make my trip more memorable. Highly recommend his services to those that plan to utilize this service.
