Laurence led us through different great spots to shoot and explained us the idea behind and even modelled for us in less crowded spaces. He reviewed our work and gave feedback. Additionaly I got recommendations on where to find cameras in Tokio and some very interesting documents about different spots for photography in Tokio and Japan. I recommend it to anyone who wants to broaden their view on city photography & get inpiration to look ‚beyond‘ when in a city :-)

Description
This photo workshop focuses primarily on black and white, high contrast photography in the urban environment - sometimes color shots are recommended depending on the situation. We’ll explore a few of these cool locations and learn about how to create images that incorporate geometry, shadows, reflections, silhouettes and leading lines. During the workshop I'll be offering tips and advice about photography composition, use of light and capturing the moment with your camera.

Thank You Lawrence for the fascinating workshop! It was the highlight of my week in Tokyo. You elevated my observation skills, and made a positive impact on how I perceive light and composition. I look forward to returning to Tokyo and attending another one of your workshops.I admire your way of going! Until next time.....Tom Rierden.
Laurence's tour invites you to think about the places you have been through with a careful eye. He lead us to various places with interesting patterns. The experience is ideal in small groups. Laurence can help you craft compelling images.
Good photowalk with Laurence. Picked up several techniques. Will do it again in future. Highly recommended. Thank you.
I have enjoyed photography as a hobby for many years. I learned a whole new perspective of creative photography from Laurence.
Really enjoyed the workshop with Laurie. A great teacher and I really learned more in how to find and make use of a scene with lighting and traffic.
Hi Simon, thanks for the review. It was great meeting you!
Laurence was extremely helpful with the locations and even stood in as a passerby when there were no subjects to photograph.
Thanks for the review Sahil! It was a pleasure spending time with you.
I can honestly say that this photography workshop was one of my absolute favourites! Laurence is super creative and talented. He showed me a lot of really cool spots for some awesome street and abstract shots in Tokyo. Absolutely loooveeee how my photos turned out 😁😁
Hey thanks Aubrey! It was fun doing the workshop with you!
