Sanbao Z

I had a truly unforgettable kimono photo shoot experience in Kyoto with Sanbao. He was warm, professional, and attentive to every detail. Since it was a busy weekend, he carefully selected a quieter temple location that was both peaceful and incredibly photogenic , a perfect setting away from the crowds. I’m not particularly familiar with wearing a kimono, so I wasn’t sure how to pose in a way that would look natural and elegant. But Sanbao is clearly very experienced . he thoughtfully designed the entire shoot based on the background, the setting, my kimono, and even my personality. He gave clear, gentle guidance and helped me feel comfortable and graceful throughout the session. Even the raw photos I received the same night were stunning. Each photo felt artistic, well-composed, and beautifully balanced (capturing not just how I looked, but how I felt in that moment. )It was truly a personalized, artistic experience that I’ll treasure forever. Highly recommend Sanbao to anyone.

We had a fantastic private photo session with SanBao. He’s highly professional, knows the area well, and was punctual. He kept great conversation throughout, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed. He also recommended a kimono rental and helped make the reservation, ensuring the whole process was smooth and well-planned. Most importantly, we absolutely love the photos he took of me and my family. You can tell he truly loves what he does—his expertise with lighting is amazing, and he has a real talent for capturing special moments. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend booking with SanBao!

Sanbao was amazing. He was so energetic and thoughtful. All the photos came out beautiful, and I would love to come back 🥰

I had the chance to book this photoshoot with Sanbao and he also helped me with the reservation for the kimono that will be used for the photoshoot. The photoshoot went so smooth and amazing as he knows the angles and spots, the photos were all amazing. The process itself was fun as he is very friendly and makes you comfortable throughout the shooting process. Definitely would recommend this for anyone who wants to have a proper photoshoot in Kyoto

Sanbao is a great photographer, we would highly recommend. He guided us through beautiful parts of the city and suggested a variety of good poses for us to try.
