1-on-1 concept
The experience gained so far, as well on the photographic as the tour guide part, teach me that a training in a group context is not made for everyone.
Thanks to my tour guide activity this last 8 years, I have been able to travel all around Japan from North to South (Hokkaido - Kyushu) passing by the summit of Mount Fuji.
That’s why I decided to create this new photo tour and experience in this amazing city that is Tokyo.
It's dedicated to those who want to discover or rediscover the city and learn photography in individual sessions with the coaching of a tutor.
During our day of shooting in Tokyo, I'll be able to clarify any doubt in specific photographic areas with practical advice and theoretical knowledge.

Tokyo one-on-one
Photography and Tokyo are a perfect match.
In addition to our more traditional city tours, cycling routes, and hiking excursions, I offer a special one-day Photo Tour in Tokyo, designed especially for photography enthusiasts who want to explore the city through their lens.
Whether you have just one free day during your stay and want to discover Tokyo while refining your photography or post-processing skills, my one-on-one Tokyo Workshop is the perfect choice.
I’ll pick you up directly at your chosen location — your hotel lobby, a famous landmark, or anywhere convenient for you.
From there, we’ll explore some of Tokyo’s most photogenic spots and hidden gems together.
Along the way, I’ll share local stories, cultural anecdotes, and of course, help you capture beautiful and unique images.
All of this takes place in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, where you can feel comfortable asking questions, experimenting creatively, and truly enjoying the moment.
What can you gain in a day
The topics that will be discussed during the Tokyo Workshop (depending on the chosen level):
-
Tripod use optimization
-
Exposure triangle (ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed)
-
Depth of Field
-
Advantages of using Manual mode or aperture mode depending on the situation.
-
Advantages of shooting in RAW format
-
Instruments for the composition and evaluation of the scene
-
Use of filters (Polarizer, ND, GND)

Introduction to some advanced post-production techniques (Exposure Blending, HDR, Panorama), only for the ADVANCED level.
The one-on-one Tokyo Workshop can also provide you on request a section related to Post-Processing.
You will find a list of the minimum gear you need to bring for the day.
For sure the most important is your camera with some lenses. Things like a tripod are optional and anyway, I will adapt myself to your gear.
Please, let me know your photography skills in advance even if all the levels are more than welcome. The idea is to learn together!
