About the Tour

Few places exist somewhere between reality and reverie. Japan during the months of winter is one of these places.

I am teaming up with Ken Duncan once again to take you on an incredible photography experience. If you’ve been dreaming of a photography tour that leaves you awe-struck and inspired then this is the tour you’ve been waiting for…

This wonder-filled journey takes you to one of the most visually breathtaking countries in the world and gives you a rare chance to photograph Japan at her glistening best.

Japan in winter is as unique as it is beautiful, and over 14 unforgettable days, you’ll journey with an intimate group of passionate photographers across Japan’s archipelago of islands to photograph its most extraordinary winter-scapes. From the neon lights of Tokyo to the rare birds of Hokkaido, snow monkeys to sacred shrines, it’s almost impossible to articulate the wonders that are waiting for you on this adventure.

Japan is a proud land of mastery and legend. On this tour, you’ll walk your own path of mastery, create legendary memories, and capture images you’ll share with pride.
