Photography Workshop
This is a private street photography course where you learn as you walk through the backstreets of Kyoto, rather than taking the usual tourist photos.Drawing on my experience of over 20 years as a commercial photographer in France, I will not only provide technical guidance, but also work closely with you on the areas where you are currently experiencing difficulties.You can freely customise the content according to your level and purpose, including portraits, how to make the most of natural light, flash photography, and how to capture the decisive moment.This is a practical four-hour session for tourists to find their own unique perspective and style, rather than following the usual tourist clichés.
