Travel photography – Japan

When I visited Japan, travel photography was very much part of my routine: I was there on a commission from Pride Life magazine. And what a place for the job. I found myself shooting everything from portraiture to street photography, as well as landscapes and mountain photography. Any travel photography assignment demands a photographer deploys all of his or her skills, whatever the weather, and however long the days. Pride Life were delighted with what I provided – pictures of Kyoto, Kamikochi and Tokyo, to name just a few. I’m always looking out for fresh opportunities to use pictures and film to tell stories about fascinating places – if this is something you need for your project or story, please get in touch. I’d love to discuss how I could help you.
