This tour with Irven was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. He took us to some of the best vantage points in Osaka and walked us through many techniques and perspectives to capture some of the best photos we took on our trip. He even spent extra time with us at the end of the tour to capture additional unique perspectives. We learned a lot and had a great time.

Amazing Photography Tour Experience in Osaka
Irven was very patient, thoughtful and encouraging. He explained different photography techniques, showed examples, and even modelled for the photos if there was no one around to be a subject. It is a valuable experience for both beginner and amateur photographers. At the end of the experience, you will have gained knowledge and confidence in your photography and have some beautiful pictures of your time in Osaka to take home.

A highlight of our trip to Japan.
Aperture Tours and our photo guide Irven were amazing. From the outset I found booking easy and the team highly responsive. The meeting point was convenient and easy to find. Irven asked if we could start early. We did the extended tour and had day and night sites. We saw and had access to vantage points we never would found on our own. Irven asked if we shot manual and history was created. He even spent extra time with us. Now for the amazing part. Irven had looked at my Instagram feed and knew what we liked to shoot. He accommodated me and my son’s interests and spent time teaching us street and motion blur and leading lines and night photography with long exposure and tripods. Amazing. We walked away from the tour with skills and knowledge we did not have before. Irven commented how this was not like work for him but more of a combined passion for teaching and photography. Importantly for me my son who I was traveling with caught the fever for photography! There is no question I will use Aperture Tours again on my next trip if they service my destination! A highlight and worth the day trip to Osaka.

Amazing Experience
Great tour by Irven!! Can not recommend it enough. If you want to learn photography and the hidden city spots for street photography, this tour is for you! I was sick my first day but Aperture was able to accommodate for me later on. We spent several hours out in Osaka and around the city for an unforgettable experience. Will definitely be booking with Irven again when I’m back in Japan.

Great way to learn and explore Osaka
I had a really informative and fun time with Irven. He offered a lot of useful tips and showed me a lot of cool places around Osaka. Some of my favorite photos from this trip came from this experience. I took all my photos on my iPhone, but all the techniques and suggestions he'll make still apply if that's what you're using.
