About the Japan Food Photographers Association
The Japan Food Photographers Association (FPA) is a general incorporated association dedicated to enhancing the status and expanding the social recognition of food photographers. We focus on elevating the artistry of food photography through the power of photography and videography, while contributing to Japan's culture, education, and economy.
Furthermore, the shortage of professional food photographers is a significant issue in the food industry, which serves as a crucial pillar of Japan's economy centered around "food." Due to the complexity of product photography, food photography maintains high shooting fees, and its demand is expected to expand even further in the future.
To address this situation, we are committed to increasing the number of food photographers and creating more opportunities for them to succeed. Food photography work is often free from weekend, holiday, and nighttime shoots, making it an ideal career option for female photographers and those who prioritize a lifestyle-friendly working environment.
We have received numerous inquiries and shoot requests from major food manufacturers and restaurant groups. Our primary activities include acting as a bridge between food photographers and clients, as well as fostering the development of food photographers.
