Creative Collaboration / Tokyo

Let’s Make
Photographic Work
Together.

I’m open to collaborations with students, newcomers, and emerging creators who want to bring their own practice, role, or idea into a shared photographic project.

You bring what you do. I have been a professional photographer since 1992. Together, we shape a photographic world and make work that can live beyond the shoot.

Who this is for

Bring a practice, a role, or an idea.

A starting point and a willingness to contribute are enough. You do not need an established career or a finished proposal.

In front of the camera

Models, actors, dancers, performers

New and non-professional models, aspiring actors and musicians, dancers, performers, and people exploring movement or bodily expression.

Making the image

Hair, makeup, fashion, styling

Students and early-career practitioners who want to turn their work into strong photographs for a portfolio, presentation, or new creative direction.

Building the world

Designers, musicians, and mixed teams

Fashion, costume, graphic design, objects, music, performance, and projects that bring several creative roles together.

Looking to be photographed?

For a STORY portrait, use the General Model Call.

This page is for people bringing a practice, skill, performance, design, or idea into a shared project.

If your main interest is appearing in a STORY portrait as a model, the General Model Call is the more direct route.

How we collaborate

Bring what you do. Build the work together.

The aim is to combine different skills and points of view, then carry the photographs through to a finished form that can be shown.

Starting point

Begin with something you want to explore

An image, garment, performance, character, movement, object, place, story, or an idea that does not yet have a name can all be valid beginnings.

Shared process

Shape the photographic world together

Light, location, composition, movement, clothing, body, and story are developed through conversation and the shoot itself.

Finished work

Make something that can live beyond the shoot

The result may take the form of web work, a portfolio, an exhibition, a ZINE, performance documentation, or another form suited to the project.

Relaxed process, serious work

Tokyo and the Ikebukuro area are practical starting points. The process can be informal and enjoyable while the finished photographs remain carefully made.

Production support

Depending on the project, FUJIYOSHI may be able to cover part of a modest studio cost. The location and production plan are decided according to the work.

A starting point is enough

A complete pitch is not required. A few clear lines are enough to begin a conversation.

Who you are

Your role, current activity, and links to photographs, work, a portfolio, or social media if you have them.

What you bring

A performance, garment, styling idea, design, object, location, character, story, or another element you want to develop.

What you want to explore

The feeling, image, question, or direction that makes you want to create the work.

When and where

Your possible dates, base city, preferred area in Tokyo, and any location or studio needs already in mind.

Creative Collaboration

Start with a conversation.

Send a few lines about who you are, what you want to explore, and when you may be available. The form requires only your name, email address, and message; other details are optional.
