View PortfolioHow Smiler vets its photographers
Every photographer on this page applied with a portfolio and was individually approved by our team — most applicants don't make it. Once approved, their rating is on the line with every verified review, and photographers who fall below our quality bar stop receiving bookings. If your photographer ever has to cancel, the booking is automatically re-offered to the rest of the Kyoto team, so a confirmed shoot doesn't fall through — and if the day genuinely can't be saved, you get a full refund.
