About Japan
"Even in Kyoto, Hearing the Cukoos cry, I long for Kyoto” -Edo period Zen Buddhist haiku
​
We strive for our workshops to be transformative creative and cultural experiences. Participants will spend time exploring and shooting in urban and rural settings throughout Japan.
Dan and I will guide you in shooting a variety of subjects and locations through assignments focusing on intent, technique and composition. Wide Angle’s philosophy is simple: deep creative and cultural experiences in historically significant and unique countries.
