Testimonials
Paren was so easy to work with and assisted me with some incredible photos for Under Armour Japan. He has a great eye for photography. I highly recommend!
–N.W (Portrait Client, Australia)
This was our 1st tour in Japan and we were so lucky to have Paren as our guide. We played local for a day. We had yummy Okonomiyaki for lunch, learned how to get our train tickets and identify platforms! Best of all, Paren is a good photographer so our Kyoto in a day was captured well. We are planning to see Osaka next time and hoping we end up with Paren as our guide as well.
Paren was very responsive and created excellent communication with us to perfectly match our needs. The results are absolutely splendid! Thank you!–M.C (Tour Client, Australia)
Paren did the photoshoot of our surprise proposal. He is a really nice person and a really talented photographer! He managed to make us comfortable and to offer us a wonderful moment, and obviously, amazing pictures! Thank you so much 💞
