HENRY DAVID PHOTOGRAPHY
Henry David photographs people, workplaces and products for companies and brands. From leadership portraits to reflective surfaces and fine product details, the brief starts with what the finished work needs to communicate.
SELECTED COMMERCIAL WORK
The whole product.
The detail that matters.
The Majesty collection calls for two kinds of attention: a clear view of the complete object, and a close look at the engraving, enamel and polished metal that give it its character.
These Michel Perchin still photographs demonstrate the lighting and material detail behind Henry’s product work. For a Tokyo or Osaka brief, define the hero views, close-ups, backgrounds and crops around your campaign or product page.

One brief.
The right set of assets.
Plan the stills and motion around the placements, people and access your project needs.
Corporate & team portraits
A leadership announcement, a refreshed team page, or portraits that sit comfortably beside a global image library. Agree on backgrounds, framing and retouching before the session.
Explore executive portraits ↗Brand & workplace photography
Give your audience a closer look at how the company works. Plan an image library around real staff, spaces and processes, with the website, recruitment story or campaign in mind.
Explore corporate photography ↗Product & detail photography
Reflective metal, fine finishes and small details need deliberate lighting. Define hero views, macro details, backgrounds and crops around the product and its intended use.
Explore product photography ↗Video alongside stills
Plan interviews, a brand story or supporting footage alongside the photography. Agree on the speaking language, sound requirements, edit lengths and caption needs before allocating the shoot day.
Explore video production ↗WORK IN JAPAN
Experience directing people.
An eye for the details.
Henry’s fashion experience includes work with Elite Model Management Japan, Lucent Models in Osaka and Mother Model Management. It brings another dimension to his approach to people, styling and visual detail.
The photographs alongside are from Tokyo and Osaka. They show his fashion work in Japan; corporate and product briefs are planned around their own audience, brand and deliverables.

TOKYO + OSAKA / PLANNING
Make the visit count.
Henry visits Japan regularly and is available for projects in Tokyo and Osaka by arrangement. Start with your locations, access requirements and launch date so the production can be scoped before travel is confirmed.
01
Align the local brief with the wider brand
Share your current image library, intended audience and approval process. Identify who in Tokyo can make decisions on the day and who elsewhere needs to approve the final selection. Planning conversations are in English; tell Henry where Japanese-language support would be needed.
02
Build the day around access
List the locations, people and products involved. Confirm building access, equipment load-in, usable space, photography permissions and interview noise levels with your site contact. Keep a weather alternative in the brief for outdoor portraits.
03
Specify the finished assets
Define image quantities, horizontal and vertical crops, retouching, video versions and any text-safe areas. Agree on usage territories, channels, duration, review rounds and delivery timing in the proposal.
A useful first message
Tell Henry whether the project is in Tokyo, Osaka or both; the people or products involved; where the work will appear; your budget range; and your preferred date and delivery window. Include video versions and any language or subtitle requirements.
Before you book
Are you based in Japan?
No. Henry is based in St. Louis in the United States and visits Japan regularly. Projects in Tokyo and Osaka are arranged individually; contact him to confirm dates before making plans.
Can a Tokyo office match our global portraits?
Share examples, brand guidelines, background specifications and required crops. Henry can assess how to approach a consistent look and explain any limitations of the proposed space before quoting.
Can photography and video share a shoot?
They can be planned together, subject to scope and access. Interviews need quiet time and sound planning; product details and portraits need their own lighting. The brief determines whether one visit or separate sessions make sense.
How are travel and usage handled?
The proposal should identify the scope, travel arrangements, licensing, deliverables and schedule for your project. Confirm the travel window and project scope before making plans.
Tell Henry what you are planning in Tokyo or Osaka.
Share the purpose, people or products, and a possible date range. Confirm the scope and availability with Henry directly.
