Outsourcing Website Photography in Kyoto

Web agencies in Tokyo and Osaka sometimes ask us: “Could you handle the shoot for our Kyoto client?” Of course we can.

The agency and the photographer don’t need to be in the same city. In fact, for Kyoto projects, there are real advantages to working with a Kyoto-based team.

We know Kyoto’s locations

Shooting conditions vary enormously across the city: machiya townhouses, hotels, temple surroundings, tourist spots, offices, workshops — plus narrow alleys and busy roads. Knowing the locations makes it much easier to plan the shoot.

Agencies in Tokyo or Osaka can commission just the shoot

Design and direction in Tokyo, the client in Kyoto, and only the photography by LS STUDIO — that set-up works perfectly well. We share online meetings and shot briefs in advance and confirm the creative intent before we arrive on set.

From people to architecture in a single day

A corporate website needs many kinds of images: the CEO, staff, offices, people at work, products and the building. Handling as much as possible with one team keeps the tone of the photography consistent.

Photos that work on the web

We don’t only think about each image on its own. We consider how it will be used across desktop, mobile, banners, social media and recruitment pages. Shooting compositions with negative space, in both landscape and portrait, makes the design work much easier afterwards.

LS STUDIO is based in Kyoto and takes on outsourced photography for web agencies and design studios. Whenever you need a crew in Kyoto, we can join as your local photography partner.
