Hi I'm Chizu !
Hello! My name is Chizu.
I love capturing my clients' real, authentic moments and telling their stories through photography. Documenting life and the genuine interactions between people is truly my passion!
About Me
I'm a photographer based in Austin, and I love exploring new experiences through travel. I’m passionate about pottery, adore flowers, and find my energy recharged through hiking and being immersed in nature. Art is my source of life, and I cherish capturing authentic photos that tell a meaningful story.
I was born and raised in Japan, where I majored in photography at a junior college. Afterward, I worked at a photo studio, gaining invaluable experience as an assistant to various photographers. This gave me a deep knowledge of lighting techniques across different genres—from still life to portrait photography. As a full-time photographer, I worked in Tokyo for over 10 years, covering a wide range of projects including portraits, interviews, still life, and documentary photography.
Now that I’ve moved to Austin and am working with individual clients, I find immense joy in capturing the genuine moments of their lives and contributing to their happiness. It is my mission to use my experience to provide you with the best possible photos. I believe there is a unique beauty within every person, and I love uncovering those moments. It would be an honor to capture the important moments in your life. I look forward to meeting you!
