What’s the Story?
Peering up in awe at monolithic steel and glass towers, one can’t help but feel small. Capture that feeling in your photographs, juxtaposing tiny human forms against cold and sterile structures. Contrast the artificial and man-made with the organic—hints of nature and human life surrounded by the Tokyo metropolis.
What We’ll Shoot
We will learn how to create compelling images of architectural elements and the people that populate the city’s concrete environs. You’ll be coached on using composition concepts like leading lines, negative space, and juxtaposition. We’ll practice using these techniques to convey a variety of narratives.
Where We’ll Explore
Our journey will begin in Shiodome—a district walled in with glass and steel skyscrapers. From here we will head to Ginza, famed for its broad avenues lined with intricate examples of avant-garde architecture. Afterward, we will end up in Yurakucho where we will explore the innards of the monolithic Tokyo International Forum.

Another great photographic experience by Eyexplore. This workshop is the perfect complement to the Cyberpunk/Night workshop. Both together provide a great way to experience Tokyo by night and day through the guidance of a talented photography. I highly recommend it.

By far, the best experience I’ve ever had in Tokyo.
Will take a trip down to Tokyo again just for the photo walks and workshops.

I did the Cyberpunk tour with professional photographer, Lukasz Palka. I learned a ton from Lukasz, especially about street photography since I do much more landscape. Lukasz was an exceptional teacher, had a large number of great locations we visited, and was an excellent tour guide. When I return to Japan I will definitely book another adventure with Lukasz and EYExplore.

I recently had the pleasure of joining Charles on a photography tour and workshop, and it was an exceptional experience. Charles's expertise and passion for photography were evident throughout the tour, making it both educational and enjoyable. His ability to provide personalized guidance enhanced my skills, and the picturesque locations he chose were perfect for honing my craft. I highly recommend Charles for anyone seeking a memorable and enriching photography workshop.

I had a most delightful time with Charles wandering in Tokyo from Temples to Parks to Underpasses to Vending Machines, expanding my practical knowledge of my camera and being introduced to Tokyo. We ended at the top of the Yebisu Tower (38th floor) photographing the sun setting behind Mount Fuji. Perfect! I am looking forward to another Tokyo photo safari when I return!

Was picked up from my Hotel by Lukasz. Spent a fantastic few hours exploring some amazing locations. Lukasz is very friendly and helpful and great to spend time with. I got some excellent photos especially at Tokyo international forum building. We also did some street photography between locations. Looking down on Tokyo station and the Shinkansen arrivals was another highlight. If you have an interest in photography at any level I highly recommend this tour.

Did the metropolis photography tour with Charles, fantastic tour, with Charles being very accomodating of my amateur photography skills. We went to areas that were quiet which was good as we wouldn’t get in the way of the crowds.
He even took me to Akihabara afterwards and showed me a discount memory card shop. Talk about going above and beyond

Charles was extremely professional and knowledgeable about locations, camera settings, and compositions. He gave great tips on how to compose certain shots and is an extremely skilled photographer.
I highly recommend this photography tour for those who wish to improve their composition skills and become familiar with some of Tokyo's great locations.

I was lucky enough to be the only person on a 'group tour', so ended up having a private tour with Charles. He took me to some great places and taught me some cool ways of looking at the city differently to get some interesting shots. I did this on the first day of a 2 week trip in Japan so I could practice what I learned during the rest of the trio, which worked well for me. I Highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in photography!
