Capturing and Celebrating Life's Moments

Rafael Nakanishi
Couple, Proposal and Family Photographer based in Kyoto, Japan

Muy pronto sitio web en Español!


Hello There!


I’m Rafael — a half Venezuelan, half Japanese, with a sprinkle of Peruvian roots photographer based in Kyoto. Photography began as a simple hobby, but it quickly became the love of my life. My style is a mix of natural and candid moments and storytelling compositions, genuine emotions, and the unique charm of each location.


My mixed heritage has given me a deep curiosity for cultures, people, and the stories that connect us.

When we meet, my goal is simple: to capture the magic of your time in Japan, so you can take home more than just photographs; you’ll carry with you a piece of this country’s soul.
