Tokyo Workshop

Photography workshop

Phil Penman &
Alan Schaller

March 21 to 25, 2027

Join Phil Penman and Alan Schaller for a five-day photography workshop in Tokyo.

Day one is dedicated to theory and a welcome dinner. The following four days will be spent shooting in some of Alan and Phil’s favourite areas of the city, from the busy streets of Shibuya and Shinjuku to the quieter, more traditional atmosphere of Asakusa, and beyond.

The workshop will focus on making photographs: learning to read a scene, working with available light, finding strong compositions and responding to the unexpected moments that make street photography such an interesting playground.

Throughout the week, Alan and Phil will share their own approaches to photographing on the street, working alongside participants and offering practical advice and feedback. The workshop is also an opportunity to explore different ways of approaching the same place and, ultimately, to strengthen your own way of seeing.

Availability is limited so the group remains small enough for plenty of individual time with both photographers.
