Spring or Autumn fall in Japan Photo Tours
Cherry Blossoms or Autumn fall on Honshu or Kyushu Island
Japan Photo Tours
Led by Pro Photographer Alfonso Calero - fluent in Japanese.
Landscape Photography is our main focus for all my itineraries. When in the big cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Fukuoka and Kanazawa we will explore street portraits and nightscapes as well.
In our free time we will also learn some advanced editing techniques using photoshop and lightroom.
All levels of experience are very welcome. Since we are in very small groups of six max, I will have time to teach you individually.
