Instagram post 2231927272814650625_4006751613 Alive-At-Night: Film Your AdventureShooting at night is one of the hardest challenges in photography. Even professionals struggle when there is not enough light, with photos often turning out blurry, full of noise, or just unclear. The city’s thousand neon signs and lampposts cannot recreate the intensity and concentration of daylight. Many turn to flash as a solution. Yet, as most professionals will tell you, this has many drawbacks. Even assuming that you didn’t leave the bulky flash and accoutrements at home, its beam overpowers natural tones and shades, making the atmosphere appear artificial. The best use of flash remains for planned photographic shoots.So, how do we capture that evening mood, the perfect setting for intimacy, mystery, and perhaps introspection? The dusk requires a special, delicate treatment. If you’d like to know how best to replicate the complexity and excitement of urban nights, both through portrait and landscape photography, join us for our special Alive-At-Night course.Course content: * Introduction to Night-time Photography* Equipment and Lenses* Enjoying the City Lights* Night Landscapes* Light Painting and Long Exposure* Noise* Slow Sync* Variety of Night Shoots* Night-time portraits > There will be 6 group lessons every Friday, from 7 am to 9 pm. > Beginning February 14th. > Price: ¥40,000. +info: info@tokyography.com
Instagram post 2215908761470365938_4006751613 Learn photography while having fun in Tokyo!Tokyo is, in essence, a traditional city hidden under a veil of hyper technology, chaos and energy. It is a city of layers, where streets often are without names and addresses written backwards. For all of these reasons it is arguably the most interesting city to learn how to navigate… and photograph. Join us on one of our excursions to explore the maze of Tokyo backstreets and a peek into its mysterious charm and persona. Please visit our website and see our excursions: tokyography.com/excursions
Instagram post 2215323602031413380_4006751613 The countryside of TokyoIn popular imagination, Tokyo is a vibrant metropolis. The city of lights, neons, skyscrapers, bullet trains ripping through the skies, robots, and everyday technology. In fact Tokyo is like that, especially downtown. But there is a side of Tokyo that few people know, where the huge buildings give way to rivers and technology gives way to simple country life. This is the far suburb of Tokyo, the city's last urban frontier, near mountains, valleys and rivers. In these places the urban spot blends with the farms creating amazing scenarios for photography. The citizen is also different, since without the urban bustle, they have more time to greet and exchange a smile. Worth knowing!Enjoy to know these beautiful places and study photography! Please email us at info@tokyography.com and schedule a photo excursion with us.tokyography.com

Instagram post 2179682015515727872_4006751613 Tokyo is a city with countless amazing things and one of them is its stunning natural surroundings. With 1 or 2 hours by train you can see wonderful waterfalls, rivers, mountains and the imposing Mount Fuji. In fact to the delight of photographers, it is possible to see this incredible volcano in various parts of the metropolis and still be able to make very interesting photographs. However, as we are surrounded by buildings and a lot of urban density here, only the most attentive photographers can find Mount Fuji in the crowded Tokyo cityscape, as it is more than 100km from the Tokyo downtown. A lot of people complain that you can only see it at the Sky Tree Tower or other taller buildings, but it's not true. In many places you can see it, through train stations and even at street level, but few realize it because of too many elements in the urban landscape. That's where the importance of photographic gaze is! The importance of developing the eye of the photographer, because there is no use knowing cameras and equipment but not knowing how to look for the best images, the best frames.If you are interested in improving your photographic eye and making the most of your stay in Tokyo by taking amazing photos of Japan, contact us! We offer class photography courses, private lessons and photo excursions. Contact us: info@tokyography.com

Instagram post 2120310768134809749_4006751613 For many people rain means: warm and comfortable home, movie/series, popcorn and blanket. But for us, photographers, rain have only one meaning: let's go to the street! Shooting in the rain is an amazing experience that can yield wonderful photographs. And in Japan we also have the famous and charming transparent umbrellas that are great for helping the photographer look for the best frames, even in heavy rain. It is perfectly possible to photograph using an umbrella. That's why Tokyography practice classes are not canceled when it is raining. All the students carry umbrellas and we go out to practice. Being a kind of photography little explored, the photographs have a playful and exclusive atmosphere. If you have never tried it, here's the tip!tokyography.com
Instagram post 2120282507510258728_4006751613 Japanese photographer Eiji Ohashi, some night, was taken by surprise by a heavy snowstorm and had to walk to his house with very difficult to see things along the way, because everything was very dark due to the fog. Because of this he was using only the lights of the jihankis (vending machines) as a guide. After the blizzard stopped, he realized how useful the jihankis are, not only to warm us with hot coffees on cold days, but to help residents of remote areas to locate themselves. Eiji Ohashi is eternally grateful to these machines for their functionality and for getting home safely.And since then, Ohashi has spent the last nine years obsessively photographing Japan's beautiful night landscapes that are "populated" only by vending machines. His work has gained attention both at home, in Japan, and abroad (with exhibitions in Paris and Rotterdam), and is also exhibited in the book "Roadside Lights".
