I am originally from Seattle Washington, USA. I have been living and working in Japan now for close to 17 years as a professional photographer and Computer IT consultant. Currently I live in Nagano city, Japan, but have also lived for about 10 years in the Yokohama and Tokyo areas. I do speak Japanese and am married to a lovely Japanese fashion lady named "Yoyo". She is a photographer and hair designer with her own hair salons in Nagano. I also have two lovely daughters who are the perfect models! I love Photography, Japan, Computers, and the Fashion world in Japan.

YoyoJapan says:
"Jim Atwood is a professional photographer who has done numerous photoshoots and photography marketing projects for Hair Salons in Nagano City, Japan. Stylists and Models enjoy Jim's creative ability and sincerity when working with models or hairstylists. What's particularly impressive is his ability to work on location with minimal equipment and still get the desired shot we are looking for. Jim also speaks Japanese very well and is able to converse with everyone involved to help share ideas. His Japanese understanding is particularly important when working with Japanese models and helping them to relax when being shot by a foreignor. Jim is funny, energetic, and takes his photography serious. Myself and other Hair Salons have been extremely happy with the results from Jim Atwood Photography. We look forward to working with him on every Photoshoot."

"Jim is a photographer with an eye that is as sharp on the street as it is in the studio. Jim is also an inspiration to all photographers with his group Photoshoot Japan taking the time to review photos posted in the group and making creative comments and suggestions."

"With an impeccable eye for street photo and careful color composition, I regularly enjoy browsing through Jim's photostream for updates. My favorites is the set of textures, balancing nature's beautiful colors with just the right amount of rusty & crusty man-made objects."
