Tokyo Metropolis
Overview
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.

I took two workshops with EYExplore. I was a bit intimidated at fist as I'm relatively new to photography. But from the registration to the workshops, the entire process was smooth. Even as an amateur photographer, I was treated as a professional and these workshops really helped elevate my skill-set. I learned a lot of new techniques and was shown around to some great street photography spots in Tokyo. Lukascz lead the workshops and he's a true visual poet. Thank you guys for helping me kill my street photography game in Tokyo!
