ABOUT US
Our core philosophy centers around becoming a blank slate for the creative community. Beyond just a backdrop, we see our cyclorama as a collaborative partner that adapts to visions and trends. Through setting up, tearing down, and transforming sets, CYK Studios becomes the fresh stage where creativity thrives and the boundaries of imagination are redefined.
We celebrate the connections made within our studio—between space and idea, staff and client. At CYK Studios, we are dedicated to fostering a community where every visit is a new opportunity and a new moment in the history of artistic exploration.
OUR STORY
CYK Studios began as a one-man project in 2019—designed, curated, and built by owner, Daigo Kawai. Once completed in June 2020, the studio was intended to be a creative space for young, vibrantly inspirational clients interested in pursuing video production. It has since blossomed into an environment for photography, video, and content creation now supported by a team of skilled staff.
Since opening, CYK Studios has prioritized evolving into a home where clients can maximize their potential and realize their creative dreams. In the future, we are excited to welcome new renovations and increased facilities for optimal shooting opportunities.
WHY CYK STUDIOS?
CYK Studios takes pride in being the space where innovation and professionalism converge. We provide a professional environment with top-tier equipment and a team of practicing creatives passionate about photography. Our studio serves as a canvas where every curve of our cyclorama wall and every corner of our space invites endless possibilities for inspiring work.
