Why Us?

First off thank you for taking the time to visit our workshop page. We welcome all levels of photographers from beginner to advanced to join us on any number of our adventures within Japan.

I am a fully licensed and insured within Japan to lead group photography workshops and private instruction. Most workshops/tours coming over to Japan are NOT! Along with my spouse Yumiko we have worked hard to navigate all the requirements to run and operate legally within Japan to give our clients the peace of mind knowing you are doing everything legally and above board. There are many choices to choose from when deciding to come to Japan for a photography workshops/tour. When deciding your next Japan adventure, make sure they are reputable and legal! We are! 

I also hold CPR, Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) (First Aide +) certifications and routinely train on all mentioned to keep current. With 24 years of experience in military planning there is no stone left unturned when it comes to planning out a workshop. Attention to detail is key in all the planning that goes into my workshops giving us the best opportunity and flexibility for fun and adventure.

 Instruction:

Lessons will include both in the field techniques and post processing images. In-field instruction will consist of creating compositions, understanding light, and learning to see through the chaos. We will also learn how to use the right camera settings and how this changes given the different conditions and subject. Post processing work involves using both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
