Miki Kawaguchi

Photography Director

Shinjuku,Shinjuku

Summary

As a photographer, especially for corporate events and portraits, I have a knowledge not only of photography but also of what companies expect from photos.

I take time to hear and know what clients need, and propose what kind of coverage will be suitable for them. As a pre-production process, I communicate with event venues and other production team (video team/lighting team/kitchen staff/venue staff) to make sure the event and the shooting will be conducted smoothly.

Using these knowledge and experiences, As a Chief Director, I oversee every facet of the shootings and give instructions to each photography/videography team staff.
