Before I leave for Tokyo, I’ve been thinking about the difference between long-form and short-form study—between deep familiarity and fast clarity—and how each shapes the way I photograph and teach. Whether it’s a workshop in Maui or a night shoot in Shinjuku, it all comes back to one thing: learning how to truly see.

A photography workshop isn’t about finding scenic spots—it’s about what happens when you’re there. It’s about slowing down, refining your vision, and creating meaningful images that reflect your perspective. Join me in San Francisco or Big Sur for an experience that goes beyond the map.
