Japan Landscape Photography Workshop 2026
Mirror Lake - Japan
An Immersive, Small-Group Photography Experience in the Heart of Japan
If Japan has been on your photography bucket list, this is the workshop designed to help you experience it deeply, creatively, and comfortably.
Our Japan Landscape Photography Workshop 2026 is not a rushed sightseeing tour. It’s a carefully curated photographic journey, designed for photographers who want extraordinary images, authentic experiences, and personal guidance — all while travelling in a relaxed, premium environment.
With only 6 participants, guided by two professional landscape photographers, John Armytage & Craig Williams - this workshop offers a level of access, support, and flexibility that large tours simply can’t match.
Why This Japan Photography Workshop Is Different
🚶‍♂️ Small Group. Big Experience.
We deliberately cap this workshop at just 6 photographers.
That means:
Plenty of one-on-one tuition
Space and time at each location
No rushing sunrise or sunset shoots
A relaxed, supportive group dynamic
You’re not competing for tripod space — you’re creating images with intention.
