Editorial & Magazine Cover Photography
These frames are more than just photos. From the streets of Tokyo to studio-based conceptual sets, this is high-impact, publication-ready fashion and beauty work.
A cover story for Malvie Magazine. The concept was to create a modern, minimalist yet sensual fashion narrative.
This cover for Darkly Magazine was for a gothic-themed editorial. We built a small, cinematic set in the studio to bring this dark, elegant vision to life.
A cover shot for Artego Magazine. The goal was to create a dynamic pose that felt both powerful and fluid, using a simple background to put all the focus on the model's form.
An inside spread for Hunter Magazine. This shot captures a moment of effortless cool, using a single light source to create a moody, high-fashion feel.
For this Vigour Magazine editorial, we played with motion blur and vibrant colors to create a dreamy, almost painterly effect.
Published in Figgi Magazine, this shot was taken on the streets of Shimbashi, Japan. We contrasted a high-fashion gown with a raw, urban environment.

From a Ponny Mag editorial, this image uses a Fresnel sheet to create a unique, distorted light effect, blending texture and color.

This image, published in Bleach Film Magazine, was part of a series shot on the streets of Tokyo, capturing a high-fashion look in an everyday setting.
About Published Work: Editorials & Covers
People often think magazine covers are just about the model, but for me, it is entirely about the light and the control. When we shot the cover for Darkly Magazine, we didn't rely on massive sets; we built a cinematic environment right in the studio, mixing strobes with constant LEDs to get that gritty, gothic feel. It is about having a vision and shaping every shadow to ensure the final image commands attention on the page.
Getting published in magazines like Hunter, Artego, and Vigour is not about luck. It is the result of obsessing over the light until the frame works. Whether I am shooting on the streets of Shimbashi, Tokyo, or inside my studio, my process remains the same. I do not just point and shoot. I am a creative director first.
When you look at these editorials, you are seeing more than fashion. You are seeing complex retouching workflows, frequency separation, and color grading that I handle personally to ensure the final print looks flawless. I shoot with the Sony Alpha 1, often using the 28-70mm f/2 lens to get that prime-lens sharpness without losing the rhythm of the shoot.
The Reality of Editorial Photography
A lot of people ask how to get that magazine look. The secret is not the gear. It is the team and the direction. I bring my 'killers'—my stylists, makeup artists, and digitechs—to every set. We coordinate everything from the colored gels on a strobe to the model’s pose to ensure the narrative is cohesive. For the 'Neo-Baroque Noir' story in MOB Journal, we used colored gels to push the color theory until it felt truly avant-garde.
If you have a brand or a clothing line that needs a story instead of just a catalog, let's talk. I do not do boring. I create high-impact, visual narratives that hold their own in print and digital. Let’s make something that stops the scroll.
