Urban Geometry with Laurence Bouchard

Tokyo, Japan
  • 4 hours (approx.)
  • Mobile ticket
  • Offered in: English

Overview

Work alongside photographer Laurence Bouchard as you explore Tokyo’s lines, shadows, and reflective surfaces through high-contrast and black-and-white shooting. This workshop helps travelers refine how they see the city—turning ordinary corners into structured, graphic compositions. With guidance about timing, light, and framing, it’s a practical way to sharpen your visual instincts and return home with images that capture Tokyo’s distinct rhythm rather than postcard scenes.
  • Explore Tokyo with a photographer’s perspective rather than a tourist route
  • Capture moments from your trip and create memories that last
  • Receive practical feedback tailored to your camera and skill level
  • Build techniques that translate to any city you photograph

    Loved the workshop!

    Derya, Oct 2025
    Laurence led us through different great spots to shoot and explained us the idea behind and even modelled for us in less crowded spaces. He reviewed our work and gave feedback. Additionaly I got recommendations on where to find cameras in Tokio and some very interesting documents about different spots for photography in Tokio and Japan. I recommend it to anyone who wants to broaden their view on city photography & get inpiration to look ‚beyond‘ when in a city :-)

    Laurence's tour invites you to think about the places you have been through with a careful eye. He lead us to various places with interesting patterns. The experience is ideal in small groups. Laurence can help you craft compelling images.

    A great experience!

    Laurence was extremely helpful with the locations and even stood in as a passerby when there were no subjects to photograph.
