Marco 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.
I 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.
This was a wonderful experience! Marco is a great photographer. He guides well on posing and has a super creative eye. I am super excited to see my photo gallery. I highly recommend booking him!
It was fun and Marco knew great spots to take pictures. For our 33rd Wedding anniversary and we wanted something a little different than the normal pictures. He was very friendly and had great ideas.
Amazing experience. I have never posed or did a photo shoot but this experience was super fun and comfortable. Marco is the sweetest and made me feel so comfy and guided me with every photo. 10/10 experience!
Marco 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!
Took 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 coaching through different poses and facial expressions. Very happy with his work.
Thank you!! I so appreciated your patience - I have never done anything like this before and your were so helpful in getting great shots in Osaka!
We had so much fun! I was worried about us not being photogenic but Marco gave great direction on how to pose and made us look great. He’s very talented and knows the area very well.
I had an absolutely amazing evening shoot in Osaka with Marco. He knew exactly how to instruct me to pose for the best possible photos. In the end we got some fantastic futuristic and gorgeous photos. He also explained a lot about the history of the area, so it felt like doubling up with a tour guide. I enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone.
Marco is a wonderfully talented photographer that also cares about making sure you’re comfortable and relaxed. You get both a photographer and a guide in him. He’s a great listener, as well and cares to know what kind of photos you want to take. 10/10, so glad we hired him to immortalize our memories in Osaka! Thank you Marco!
Marco is very professional and caring! He brought us to a lot of hidden spots around Osaka and took fabulous couple photos for us, which leave us the most precious memories throughout the trip. Absolutely worthy and unforgettable experience!
I really enjoyed the photo tour, it was the highlight of my time in Osaka. Marco was very knowledgeable of the area and took me to some great spots to get some amazing photos. He also knows alot of history and made it not just about the photos, but also a walking tour of the area. I was traveling solo so it was awesome getting photos taken around the area with a professional photographer and not just a selfie stick. I highly recommend this tour, it's worth every penny! :)
Walking tour meets family photoshoot... my family and I enjoyed every minute of it. We got the opportunity to visit some amazing spots in Osaka, learned a little bit about the history, and took home some memorable family photos with beautiful backgrounds. Marco, our tour guide/photographer, was super cool and very talented. This was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Osaka. We highly recommend this tour to anyone and will repeat next year when we come back.
Marco was amazing! Gave us the best tour while taking my husband and i’s photos. He took us to parts of the town we didn’t even know about. We enjoyed our experience and would recommend Marco to everyone.

The shooting with Marco was one of the best experiences I had in Osaka. He knows the area and the best places to take great pics. He made me experience Dotonbori beyond my imagination. I could enjoy the lights people and every detail that the area can offer. I’ll do it again~
