HEADSHOTS THAT REFLECT YOUR SOUL

Through Rumi Oyama's Lens: Your Story, Captured in Every Shot

As a dancer, actor, choreographer, and director, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the power of storytelling. In my journey as a headshot photographer, I aim to capture the soul of each person I photograph. I believe that every individual has a unique story to tell, and my goal is to bring that to life through my lens. With a warm and friendly approach, I strive to create a comfortable environment where you can express yourself authentically. Together, we’ll create portraits that highlight your individuality and celebrate the unique qualities that make you who you are.
