Photographer in Tokyo, Japan

I’m JG, a French freelance photographer based in Tokyo since 2015, specializing in artistic portraits, professional headshots, cultural and lifestyle photography,
whether in my studio in Shibuya or on location.

I work with individuals, professionals, artists, athletes, models, couples, and brands.

JG Brasseur

Portrait of French photographer Jean-Guillaume Brasseur, known as JG, in his photo studio in Shibuya, Tokyo.

When you hire a photographer, the final result matters, of course.
But what truly makes the difference is the preparation, the photoshoot itself, someone who listens to you, and the time taken to create something personal, in collaboration with a professional.
That is the true experience of working with a photographer.

As Ursula K. Le Guin wrote:
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
