I’m a Japan-based freelancer specializing in e-commerce product photography, white background editing, retouching, and listing optimization. Before freelancing, I spent 8+ years in a digital advertising agency as a founding member, working directly with CEOs, improving creatives, and managing large-scale performance campaigns. This experience helps me understand what truly drives clicks, conversions, and customer trust—knowledge I now apply to e-commerce visuals. I run my own vintage store, Miroria Tokyo (eBay / Depop), where I handle the full process: shooting, lighting setup, background removal, color correction, cropping, and retouching. I optimize my workflow through competitor analysis and AI-assisted improvements, producing clean, consistent photos that increase product credibility. What I can help you with: • Clean white-background product photos • Retouching (wrinkle removal, color fixes, dust/crease cleanup) • Consistent image sets for e-commerce • Listing optimization (titles, descriptions, formatting) • Visual improvements to increase CTR and conversions Clients appreciate my clear communication, fast delivery, and structured approach. If you need a reliable partner who understands both visuals and e-commerce buyers, I’d be glad to help.

Real Estate & Interior Photo Editor | Clean & Natural I help real estate and interior businesses improve images to attract more clients and increase bookings. Clean, natural, and consistent editing - based on real shooting experience, not just post-processing. If your images feel slightly off - in color, exposure, or consistency - I refine them into a cohesive, professional look that builds trust and visual appeal. As a photographer, I understand light, color, and spatial balance from the shooting stage, not just editing. I focus on subtle adjustments that improve quality while preserving the original atmosphere. What I do: - Exposure & brightness balancing (including window correction) - Natural color correction (no over-saturation) - White balance & tone consistency - Perspective & alignment correction - Noise reduction & clarity optimization - Matching multiple images for a unified look - Web-ready and print-ready optimization Experience: I have experience editing interior spaces, clinics, salons, and lifestyle environments. I also handle large batches efficiently, maintaining consistent quality across hundreds of images. My background includes exhibition work and print-based workflows, ensuring natural tones and depth. Optional support: - Japan-related research / localization - SEO-oriented content (long-term website experience) I prefer well-defined projects and long-term collaborations. Reliable, detail-focused editing for professional use. Fast turnaround available.
