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
