Harumi and I were planning to record an episode in March 2020. That didn't happen and you will hear more about that in the episode, but I think we have a great episode for you this time given all that has happened during the last nearly one year.

In 2018, when we met for the first time, Harumi was just finding her confidence to even call herself a photographer. Now, (when the situation allows!) she spends her time between Malaysia and Hitachi, Ibaraki Prefecture. Photographs for luxury brands and is working with women to help them market their businesses through excellent images.

We talk about:

How having two businesses helped her to survive in 2020

Ways she and her family have managed being apart

How she has transformed into a "photographer"

Lessons from working with luxury brands and their customers for her own businesses

Harumi Suzuki is an international photographer based in Japan and Malaysia. She specializes in portraits, profiles, events, food, landscape, travel, hotels, and street photography. Her work with clients in the luxury lifestyle space has taken her to the UK, Malaysia, Australia, and all over Japan. Her work has been featured in magazines such as Tatler Malaysia, Robb Report, and YTL Life, and she has worked with a number of luxury brands such as Lexus, Marriott Hotels, and The Ritz-Carlton.
