DENIZ DEMIR
IS A PORTRAIT AND STREET PHOTOGRAPHER IN TOKYO

but more than that...

...in 2015 I lived out a longtime dream to come to Japan. That's also when I decided to buy a 'real' camera for the first time before my trip hoping to get some great travel photos as a keepsake. Fast forward several years and many stories and well, I live here now and I haven't stopped taking photos since. 

Here you'll discover how an inner curiosity about a far away unknown place led to my discovery and deep passion for visual storytelling and content creation focused on travel, street and portrait photography. A fascination and obsession of documenting the places I've traveled and more importantly the people I've met along my journey of life. How I also help others convey their message through client work, coaching and community building.

I'm Deniz Demir and I'm a visual storyteller in Tokyo.

FAST TURNAROUND

Whether you are a big corporate brand or private solo traveler I know how important getting your photos fast in hand are.

PERSONALLY EDITED

A big part of the artistic process is the editing so you can be sure that all photos taken by me are also edited by me in my signature style.

POSING COACHING

I work with models as a profession and coach first-timers who want to get in front of a camera multiple times weekly. You are in good hands.
