FOR Professionals, Executives, and Companies
JG is a French photographer based in Tokyo since 2015, working from his studio in Shibuya and on location at offices.
Before photography, he spent two decades in sales and business development (construction, retail, media, banking, marketing) across France and Japan. He has sat on the other side of the table from most of the people he now photographs, which is usually the reason they relax in front of the camera. He speaks English, Japanese, and French.
Corporate Headshots
Three ways to be photographed, depending on whether the subject is one professional, one executive, or a whole team.
The Dossier
One professional
¥30,000
One person, one setup, half an hour. The photograph you will use on LinkedIn, the company page and every conference badge for the next years.
- Time
- 30 minutes
- Where
- Our studio in Shibuya (see on Google Maps), or on location, in which case the price may vary.
- Setup
- One background, one look
- You get
- 2 retouched photographs
- Crops
- Vertical, square, and horizontal of each
- Use
- Full corporate use, no time limit
The Feature
One executive
¥120,000
A magazine-style set built around a person and the place they work, for press kits, profiles, speaker pages and founder stories.
- Time
- 2 hours of shooting
- Where
- Our studio in Shibuya (see on Google Maps) and your workplace, or your workplace alone
- Setups
- Studio portraits and environmental images
- You get
- 6 retouched photographs
- Crops
- Vertical, square, and horizontal of each
- Use
- Full corporate use, no time limit
The Cabinet
Your team
¥25,000per person
One lighting setup held across every person, so the whole team page finally matches instead of showing six different photographers' work.
- Minimum
- 4 people (¥100,000)
- Time
- Half day up to 12, full day up to 24
- Where
- Our studio in Shibuya (see on Google Maps) or your office
- You get
- 2 retouched photographs per person
- Crops
- Vertical, square, and horizontal of each
- Use
- Full corporate use, no time limit
New joiners, for twelve months. After a Cabinet session, anyone who joins the team is photographed in the identical setup, with the same light, the same background and the same treatment, at the same ¥25,000 per person, with no minimum, for a year afterwards. Your team page stays consistent instead of drifting one hire at a time.
How It Works
1. The Brief
We go through what to wear together before the session. Fine checks and herringbone break up on camera, a badly fitting collar undoes an otherwise good frame, and both are far easier to settle beforehand than to work around on the day. For The Feature and The Cabinet we prepare the wider brief the same way: what the photographs are for, who is being photographed, and how your company already looks. However suits you best, whether that is a meeting at your office, email, a call or video.
2. The Session
Shot tethered to a screen you can see, so you watch the frames arrive instead of wondering how it is going. Most people who dislike being photographed stop disliking it within five minutes of seeing a good one.
3. The Selection
A private gallery is delivered within 24 hours of the session. Take the time you need over it, and circulate it to whoever else has a view.
4. The Delivery
Retouching covers skin treatment, texture management and colour grading. Delivered within seven days of your selection. Every photograph arrives in three crops (vertical, square and horizontal).
Workspaces & Events
Beyond portraits, two kinds of on-site coverage. The first is environmental: photographs made in your own workplace while your team actually works. The second is events: the conferences, seminars and receptions that punctuate the year. Both are quoted per brief, once the date, the hours and the deliverables are known.
Workspace & Culture
Environmental photographs made in your own offices while the team works: the desks, the meetings, the making, and the way the company actually feels. For recruitment pages, reports and the website.
Conferences & Events
Talks, panels and stage moments, with speaker portraits and audience frames. Networking evenings, launches, anniversaries and company celebrations are covered the same way: without interrupting them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is corporate photography priced?
Every service on this page is a fixed fee, except workspace sessions and event coverage, which are quoted per brief. The Dossier is ¥30,000. The Feature is ¥120,000. The Cabinet is ¥25,000 per person, from four people.
What is the difference between the three portrait services?
The Dossier photographs one professional at the studio in 30 minutes, on one background, and delivers 2 retouched photographs. The Feature is a two-hour session covering one executive at their own workplace, with or without the studio, delivering 6. The Cabinet photographs a whole team in a single consistent setup, from four people upwards, up to twelve in a half day and up to twenty-four in a full day.
Can you photograph at our office instead of the studio?
The Feature always includes your workplace, either alongside the studio or on its own. The Cabinet can run at our studio in Shibuya (access) or on site at your office, with travel and setup included in the same per-person fee. The Dossier takes place at our studio, but can be brought to your workplace on quotation.
Why is every photograph delivered in three crops?
Because the formats you will be asked for are not the format the photograph was taken in. A profile picture is square, a press kit wants horizontal, and a report or a speaker page usually wants vertical.
How may we use the photographs?
Corporate use, worldwide, with no time limit: your website, social accounts, press, recruitment materials and internal documents.
How long until we receive the images?
A private gallery is sent within 24 hours of the session, as a link for you to make your selection. The retouched photographs follow within seven days of your selection.
Do we receive the unedited original files?
Yes, on request.
Can we order additional retouched photographs?
Yes. Additional retouched photographs are ¥10,000 each.
Is hair and makeup included?
No, and neither is required. It can be arranged and quoted separately.
What happens when someone joins the team later?
For twelve months after a Cabinet session, new joiners and replacements are photographed in the identical setup at the same ¥25,000 per person, with no minimum, so the team page stays consistent.
What language will the session be in?
English, French or Japanese.
How and when do we pay?
By cash, credit card or bank transfer. Payment is due at the latest before the final retouched photographs are delivered, so your accounts department can settle it on their own schedule.
What clients say
Very professional and easy to work with. Great work
JG took photos of me in Tokyo and I am very satisfied. I found him online and I was wanting a specific photo for my website. JG was very responsive, and he even found a model who could help pose in the photo, making it look natural. He was well prepared and found a spot to take the photo in advance of meeting him. He was professional and unformal during the shoot which made me relax. Final results are great and I highly recommend JG for any type of photo shoot.
JG took professional headshot photos of me, and I’m very happy with the results. He took sufficient time for the shoot and created a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.
