Choosing a photographer in Tokyo wasn’t easy with so many options available, but I decided to go with Mehdi because I really liked his photography style, and I’m so glad I did! I’m really happy with how the pictures turned out! Mehdi was professional, patient, and gave me great posing ideas throughout the shoot. He also took his time and made sure we got plenty of beautiful shots without making anything feel rushed. It was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in Tokyo!

My friend and I decided to book a Tokyo photoshoot because we wanted some nice pictures to remember our trip. The photographer was really nice and patient. He guided us to get nice poses, because both of us had never done a photoshoot before and we’re pretty awkward in front of a camera. So the entire experience was really nice and the photos turned out great.
I had the best photoshoot with Mehdi in Tokyo. He knows how to take pictures and is patient and calm with his work. He’s very happy, respectful, smart, and talented. He is responsive and communicates well via text. I would book Mehdi again when I go back to Tokyo next year.
Mehdi did a fantastic job doing our photo shoot. The experience from start to finish was professional yet easy-going, informative, and fun. Mehdi knew a ton of good information about Japan tourism and had a lot of helpful tips that made our trip even better. The photo shoot turned out great and we have amazing photos to commemorate our favorite trip to Japan. I would recommend Mehdi to anyone looking for a quality photo shoot in Tokyo.
I booked via a DM on Instagram! Very easy and helpful. Mehdi was also very friendly and good during the photoshoot.
We booked a photographer for our two kids, 14 and 19 year old. We had such a great experience. The whole process was smooth, and the photographer made everyone feel comfortable right away. He was patient, friendly, and really knew how to capture natural moments without it feeling forced. He was also very communicative and kind about changing the day of our shoot due to the rain, which we really appreciated. The photos turned out amazing and are something we’ll definitely treasure. It was such a fun and memorable experience for the kids too. Highly recommend if you’re looking to capture special moments while traveling!
I did two shoots with Mehdi (the first for the Sakura, the second in Shinjuku, Tokyo) and I highly recommend him. From the very first contact everything was smooth ; his ability to speak several languages prevents misunderstandings and makes planning easy. On the day, the meeting point instructions were clear and he was punctual to the minute. He knows how to put you at ease, guided me with poses and entertained me with anecdotes throughout the photo tour. Professionalism, great mood, and beautiful results . Thank you, Mehdi!
I had a great experience working with Mehdi! He knew all the right locations and the quality exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend if you want authentic, well-composed shots.
We booked a photo session with Mehdi and had a great time with him. He was very knowledgeable about the Japanese culture and took us to places we probably wouldn’t have found with our limited schedule including some traditional izakayas. Turnaround time to receive our photos was super fast and we are so happy with them. I highly recommend doing a photo shoot with Mehdi while you’re in Tokyo!
booked this street photoshoot while visiting Tokyo and it ended up being one of the highlights of my entire trip. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and way more than I expected. The photographer (Mehdi) was incredibly responsive before the shoot — he helped me plan outfits, gave clear directions on where to meet, and made everything feel super easy and stress-free. Once we started, it honestly felt less like a photoshoot and more like exploring Tokyo with a friend who just happens to be insanely talented behind the camera. He guided me through different iconic spots around Shinjuku/Kabukicho and knew exactly how to capture the vibe of each location. Even if you’re not used to being in front of the camera, he makes you feel comfortable and natural — I completely forgot I was nervous after the first few minutes. What really stood out was his eye for detail and creativity. He turned simple streets and neon-lit alleys into cinematic, Instagram-worthy shots. The whole session was fun, relaxed, and actually boosted my confidence. And the photos… absolutely amazing. Easily some of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken — they perfectly captured the energy of Tokyo. If you’re even considering this experience, just book it. Whether you’re solo, a couple, or with friends, it’s 100% worth it and gives you memories (and photos) you’ll keep forever.
We had so much fun with Mehdi! He was our photographer/tour guide extraordinaire! Would definitely recommend!
This photographer is a complete fraud. He was a no show when we went to the confirmed location sent by Viator. We called and he said he had called us before and changed the location—-which we had never talked to this guy before. Even more disappointing is Viator won’t offer a refund or research the issue. Had to dispute it with our credit card. Won’t use Viator any more after several years of success. They don’t investigate the issue at all. We wasted two taxi rides and a lot of time and walked away wi the nothing. Their customer service is terrible.
I booked a photoshoot in Shinjuku with Mehdi and it was a great experience. Mehdi is very personable and offers quality conversation. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants an experienced photographer at a great price.
Planned our honeymoon for Japan so of course we needed to book a photo shoot. Mehdi was the best! We felt so comfortable and had such a fun time I’m so glad we made this happen so we can capture the moment! Thank you aha. So much for making that happen for us.
Mehdi was very responsive and helped with planning my outfit. Clear instructions on where to meet. The hour-shoot was a lot of fun. Mehdi was knowledgeable and easy to work with. Got the photos super quick and they were amazing! Price was very reasonable! Definitely worth doing in Japan!
I seriously cannot recommend Mehdi enough! Hire him! Not only is he super cool and fun to shoot with, he’s also insanely professional with a CRAZY good eye. He made me forget I was even nervous and somehow turned a normal walk through Tokyo into a whole photoshoot moment. I’m obsessed with the photos 🤍 If you’re coming to Tokyo and want street-style shots that actually look like you belong in a magazine, Mehdi is 100% your guy.
Great experience and photos!
A wonderful and easy going experience with memorable photos of Tokyo neighborhoods. I highly recommend it.
We spent a photo shoot in Tokyo with Mehdi, and it was an amazing experience! Mehdi is not only very friendly, but also an outstanding professional in the field of photography. He took us to beautiful places and was able to guide us with talent to get perfect shots. The photos are simply sublime, and he sent them to us in record time.
