5.00Marco was a whole 5-star package. From the start he had consistent communication, great knowledge of Osaka, great photography skills, and set proper expectations. Highly recommend. My girl is a tough critic on photos and she loved them lol.
Amazing Photographer

5.00I had an incredible experience working with Marco during a night shoot in Dotonbori. From start to finish, everything felt very planned. He knew exactly how to use the vibrant neon lights, reflections from the canal, and the energy of the streets to create stunning, cinematic shots. What really stood out was his attention to detail and ability to make me feel comfortable in a busy, sometimes chaotic environment. He guided me with clear direction while still keeping things natural, which made a huge difference in the final photos. Every location they chose felt intentional and unique. He was extremely flexible in getting the shots I was looking for as well as starting a little early, which helped with my other plans. His photos perfectly captured the mood and color of Osaka at night without feeling overdone. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands how to shoot in a dynamic urban setting and bring out the best in their subject, I can’t recommend Marco enough. I can’t wait to see the final edits.
Excellent!!!

5.00Marco is an experienced photographer and knows great spots around Dotonbori for pictures. In addition, he gave information about the places we were visiting. It was a fun 1-hour experience. After a few days, he sent me a link to the photos. They look great! Definitely recommended!

5.00Took a tour with Marco of the Dotonbori in Osaka - why not have someone show you around who can also take professional photos of your experience? Traveling solo (or even sometimes with partners...) it can be hard to get a beautifully lit photos to remember a fabulous experience. With Marco, he not only explained to me context and history of the area, but he also took some of the most incredible photos I've seen! Lots of fun candids and beautiful portraits. His skill with lighting creates images that are worlds from your standard selfie. Treat yourself! :)
Wonderful and friendly...
