About Photographer

Hiro

( Hirotomo Kashiwagi )


My mission as a photographer is simple: to capture the "authentic, breathing moments" that only exist in a specific time and place.

Rather than forced poses, I focus on the interplay of light and shadow, and the warm atmosphere shared between people.

My goal is to weave a story that feels like a cinematic scene—one that never fades, even as years pass.

Based near the historic city of Kanazawa, I travel across Japan and internationally to document my clients' journeys.

In addition to photography, I serve as a guide to Japan’s sacred shrines and spiritual sites.

Important Guidelines


1. Emergency Situations

If the photographer is unable to attend due to unavoidable circumstances (e.g., sudden illness or accident), I will offer to reschedule or provide a full refund. Please note that we cannot compensate for other related expenses such as costume rentals, hair styling, or travel costs.

2. Equipment & Data Security

I take the utmost care with equipment maintenance and data backups. In the unlikely event that delivery becomes impossible due to unforeseen circumstances, the maximum compensation will be a full refund of the session fee.

3. Safety Management

While I prioritize safety during the session, parents or guardians are responsible for the safety of their children. I cannot be held responsible for accidents, injuries, or damage to clothing. Please keep a close eye on your children at all times.

Please arrive on time. If you are late, we may not be able to extend the session due to subsequent bookings. This may result in a shorter shooting time and fewer delivered photos than originally promised.
