About

Ujio the Turtle Samurai

I am Ujio the Turtle Samurai, creatively working between Toyphotography, cosplay crafting and videography. Everything I create grows from the same passion for pop culture: figures, characters, stories and worlds that keep inspiring me and constantly spark new ideas.

My Work

Toyphotography means carefully choosing figures, building a mood and capturing the exact moment when an idea turns into an image with character. For me, it is not just about beautiful motifs, but about creating a small scene filled with emotion, atmosphere and meaning.

Cosplay is the hands-on side of this world for me: making ideas tangible, building shapes, refining details and creating characters that also work at conventions and while being worn. This often leads to personal interpretations, screen-accurate props and solutions that connect creativity with practicality.

How I Tell Stories

Videos and reels are the point where everything comes together for me. They do not just show the final result, but also the making-of process, BTS, setups and the small steps in between. That makes my projects not only visible, but also relatable and alive.

What Drives Me

My creative journey began with Toyphotography, and the Ninja Turtles as well as The Last Samurai were the sparks that still burn today. These influences shape my foundation, but my work has long grown beyond them into fantasy, anime, fan art and everything that inspires me visually. With camera, tools and an eye for detail, I shape ideas into images, materials into characters and moments into stories.
