 As a photographer in Tokyo, I get requests from a wide range of clients. I never know what kind of photographs I am going to be asked to create. From editors inquiring about editorial assignments to mothers searching for a photographer to shoot their son's bar mitzvah, each day brings a uniquely interesting client. One segment of the expats in Tokyo that I always love to hear from are the service members stationed in Japan. I recently heard from Jeremy. He wrote: Andy! I am hoping to contract you to create some professional headshots to use on my business school and LinkedIn profiles. I live in Yamato, Kanagawa but work on Camp Zama’s airfield. Regarding a personal branding portrait session, I’d like to incorporate a professional vibe of course. Clean backgrounds seem appropriate. My target industry following business school is management consulting, so I want to appear conservative yet welcoming. I’m also going to business school on the East Coast, so I imagine a more conservative appearance is the norm. I figure taking cues from the partners’ profile photos is a reasonable strategy. Can you help me? I was happy to hear from Jeremy and knew that we could easily knock out some professional corporate branding images together. After receiving such a detailed inquired, I also knew that I could travel to him in Kanagawa and that this small effort would make my client's shoot day less stressful. I quickly responded and carved out a day on the calendar for Jeremy. In the end, I spent just one hour with Jeremy but created more than 50 images for him to use as he embarks on his new adventure in corporate life.
