About

I’m Tyler, a working photographer who shoots both film and digital. These workshops are built for photographers who care about atmosphere, composition, and storytelling, not influencer poses or rushed tours. Groups are intentionally small so everyone gets real guidance and space to create.

• Small groups (6–10 photographers max)
• Street + landscape focused
• Film friendly (35mm + medium format welcome)

Upcoming Locations

  • Chicago

    Chicago brings bold architecture, dramatic light, and classic American street energy. From elevated trains to riverfront reflections and downtown shadows, this workshop is designed for photographers who want to sharpen composition and timing in an urban environment. We will focus on street scenes, architectural lines, and storytelling in changing light. This is a great option for building confidence before international travel or refining your city shooting style closer to home.

  • Taipei

    Taipei offers a softer, more intimate street experience with vibrant night markets, scooter filled intersections, misty hills, and traditional districts woven into modern city life. This workshop blends street and landscape photography, giving you space to explore texture, light, and movement while also stepping outside the city for environmental scenes. It is ideal for photographers who enjoy candid moments, food culture, and a relaxed pace with rich visual variety.

  • Tokyo

    Tokyo is a city of contrast with neon nights and quiet mornings, dense alleyways and open parks, centuries old temples beside modern architecture. This workshop focuses on street photography, atmosphere, and visual storytelling, with guided shooting sessions through neighborhoods that reveal both the energy and subtlety of daily life. Expect rainy reflections, layered compositions, and plenty of opportunities for both film and digital shooters to slow down and create intentionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. These workshops are designed for both film and digital photographers. You are welcome to shoot 35mm, medium format, mirrorless, or DSLR. I personally shoot both, and guidance is focused on composition, light, and storytelling rather than camera settings.

  • These workshops are best for photographers who already understand basic camera operation. You do not need to be advanced, but you should feel comfortable shooting in manual or aperture priority. Beginners with some experience are welcome.

  • Groups are limited to 6 photographers. This keeps the experience personal and allows for real one on one guidance while shooting.

  • Your registration includes:

    • Guided street and environmental shooting sessions
    • Location scouting and composition coaching
    • Group image review and feedback
    • Pre trip planning guide
    • Private group chat before departure

    Flights, lodging, meals, and personal transportation are not included.

  • Are flights and hotels included?

    No. This gives you flexibility to choose your own accommodations and travel schedule. Once you register, you will receive suggested neighborhoods and hotel recommendations to make planning easy.

  • International workshops include two full shooting days, plus an optional welcome evening walk. Local Chicago workshops are typically one full day.

  • Street photography, environmental portraits, architectural details, and light driven storytelling. There is also time for slower observation and personal projects. These are not influencer style tours. The focus is intentional photography.

  • Absolutely. Many participants arrive early or stay longer to explore on their own. The workshop days are structured so you can easily build personal travel around them.

  • Because group sizes are small, all registrations are non refundable. If you cannot attend, you may transfer your spot to another photographer with approval.

  • Fill out the inquiry form on this page. A 50% deposit is required to hold your place in the workshop. The remaining balance is due closer to the workshop date and timing will be shared after registration. Because group sizes are limited to six photographers, spots are filled on a first come basis once the deposit is received.
