Izumi Tanaka Photography

I love working with Izumi. She really gets into it. It means so much to me because I put so much of my own creativity into my projects. I love collaborating with her. She really is an artist and gives every shot that special moment. Which is so important to me as a designer.

Izumi is an amazing photographer, she is professional and has a wonderful intuitive eye. Her attention to detail is spot on!

Izumi is a pleasure to work with. We hired her to photograph one of our architectural projects on the recommendation of a friend, and we were extremely happy with the results. She was thoughtful, and the shoot was efficient, fun, and well considered. The final photos are beautiful and speak for themselves!

Izumi is a careful and considered photographer with a wonderful aesthetic. To add to this she is very easy to work with, clearly communicating all her needs and calmly directing you to get the perfect photograph.

I hired Izumi to photograph the last residential project that I designed and built in Santa Monica. Working with her has been a wonderful enriching experience, as we immediately connected. I had sample shots on my phone that we first discussed and reviewed. We have never worked together before and yet we found each other enthusiastically collaborating in a short period of time, exchanging ideas and brainstorming together. I then I watched her working on her shots, taking the opportunity to learn from her process and her meticulous way of framing the views and fine tuning the details.

Izumi was able to shoot 5 rooms very quickly. It was the most time efficient shoot I have exerienced in 30 years. She has a great eye for setting up the angles and attention to details, I have always adnired her use of natural light in her photography. The photos came out great and will be an asset to my portfolio.

I love working with Izumi Tanaka, not only because she has a great eye, but also because she is a pleasure to work with. She has a fine tuned sense of composition, and her ability with lighting makes BOTH our work look good! Kathy Weber Interior Designer Artistic Environments, Inc.

As a Landscape Designer it is very important for me to work with a photographer who understands my work. I have found that in Izumi Tanaka. She is the ultimate professional - a "no fuss" easy going attitude with a true sense of framing the shots to show my gardens to their best advantage. It is always hard for me to chose from her pictures as every shot is great. I have also seen her Family/Portrait work which is remarkable.

Izumi has been my photographer for my own garden design business. Her creativity and attention to detail is fabulous. Izumi's style make my portfolio very unique. She can do either straight beautiful photography or put a more creative, real life touch to the the photos blending nature into the style of the garden, capturing a bee that landed on a flower or a humming bird fluttering. Her pleasant personality even makes the photo shoot experience more than fun.

Izumi's eye is impeccable - no matter what she chooses to shoot - whether its people, their pets and their lifestyle or architectural photography - she connects with her subject matter on an intuitive level and every shot tells a story. Expect a direct approach and outstanding results!

Izumi does great work! She has a great sense of composition and light. She is very easy to work with and open to your ideas. I plan on using her for all of my photographic projects. By the way, she works digitally, so you see the shots on her lap top as you go, so there are no surprises.
