Photo Gallery

Photographs serve as a means to convey the essence of the butler's craft. A fleeting moment of movement, the presence of tools, the arrangement of a space. Elements that words alone cannot fully capture are contained within a single image. Here I outline the scope and procedures for photography and the use of photographs that I can accommodate.

What Can Be Conveyed Through Photographs

The form of gestures and the atmosphere of the setting. Capturing a moment of movement can sometimes communicate more quickly than words.

The angle at which a door is opened, the position of the hand holding a tray, the stance when standing by. Content that would be lengthy to explain in text can be conveyed at a glance in a photograph. These can be used as materials to accompany articles or documents.

At the same time, there are aspects that photographs alone cannot convey. The reason for a particular position only becomes clear when combined with text.

Content I Can Accommodate for Photography

Demonstrations of gestures, still lifes of tools and arrangements, records of lectures and training sessions, and so on. I can compose according to the project.

Photography of demonstrations such as serving, guest reception, table setting, and how to adjust attire is possible. I can also handle still photography of silverware, vessels, and tools.

Please consult regarding the shooting location and necessary tools depending on the content.

Notes on Using Photographs

Permission is required for secondary use of published photographs. Please inform me of the purpose and medium of use.

The photographs published on this site are not to be reproduced or used secondarily without permission. If you wish to use them in articles or materials, please contact me in advance.

If the scope of use is clear, I can often accommodate.

Regarding Photography Involving Clients

I cannot accept photography at actual sites due to confidentiality. Photography is conducted in staged environments.

There is the client's life at the butler's workplace. We must avoid capturing details of the residence or guests. Therefore, I do not accept photography during actual duties.

If it is a reproduction of gestures or arrangements, I can present it in the same form as actual work. Please consult on the composition according to the content you wish to convey.

Regarding Updates to Publications

As records of activities, I add them in order as they are confirmed.

I will publish records of lectures, training sessions, and association activities that can be preserved.

I also accept inquiries regarding the published photographs.

Flow of Requests

Please inform me of the purpose of photography, the medium, and the desired content via the inquiry form.

I accept both requests for photography and use of existing photographs through inquiries. Specifying the scope and purpose of use will allow for quicker decisions.

I can also accommodate requests in conjunction with interviews.
