Loved the workshop! - 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 :-)

All I had was an iPhone. It was all I needed for this workshop./Users/thomasrierden/Desktop/IMG_4184.jpeg - Thank You Lawrence for the fascinating workshop! It was the highlight of my week in Tokyo. You elevated my observation skills, and made a positive impact on how I perceive light and composition. I look forward to returning to Tokyo and attending another one of your workshops.I admire your way of going! Until next time.....Tom Rierden.
