Portrait Works by Kyoto Photographer Jinn Yagi

Portrait photography by Jinn Yagi. LS STUDIO presents a selection of portraits by Jinn Yagi — artists, creators, models and actors, through fashion, beauty, hair & make-up, editorial and commercial photography.

It isn’t only about photographing someone beautifully, but about how to hold their atmosphere, individuality and presence in a single image. Distance from the subject, light, background, wardrobe, expression and the time that flows in the moment all shape portraits made for each person.

Artist & creative portraits

Portraits of artists, musicians, designers, architects, craftspeople and other creators. The aim is to show not only the work itself, but who makes it, and with what philosophy.

Shoots for artist profiles, exhibitions, press releases, websites, social media, publications and artist books, made for audiences in Japan and abroad.

Fashion & editorial

Brand looks, seasonal visuals, fashion portraits and editorials. Rather than simply showing the clothes, we understand the brand’s world and concept and build one image from location, light, model and styling — from the studio to Kyoto’s streets, architecture and nature.

Hair, make-up & beauty

Work for stylists and make-up artists, salon key visuals, competition entries, advertising, and web and social visuals — with close attention to texture, colour and light. The goal is a single photograph in which hair, make-up, fashion and model all come together.

Commercial & executive portraits

Corporate advertising, executives, brand stories and interviews. From standard profile photos to conceptual portraits that convey a company’s philosophy, for advertising, websites, company brochures, magazines, newspapers, PR and social media.

A portrait beyond a portrait

Jinn Yagi works as an advertising and commercial photographer while continuing to create and exhibit as an artist working with photography. Moving between these two perspectives means delivering exactly the visual that’s needed — and leaving something in the photograph that belongs only to that person.

Portraits that go beyond record, and stay true to who you are. LS STUDIO handles everything from planning and direction through photography, retouching and delivery.

Artist / Fashion / Editorial / Hair & Make-up / Beauty / Corporate / Executive / Private portraits — based in Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo, and available for assignments throughout Japan and internationally.
