Advice on Running a Photography Business in Tokyo + other updates

Konnichiha from Tokyo!

Recently I was asked to do an interview / podcast with a couple of local up and coming photographers based in Nagoya, Japan who just started their channel. We got deep into it with shotby.cruz and foxthaking for whopping 2 hours covering everything from my story to how I started my photography business in Tokyo.

There's nothing more I love than sharing the extensive knowledge and invaluable experience I've been fortunate enough to accumulate over the years. Probably why I love teaching workshops so much. Each moment, each challenge, each failure and each triumph has contributed to a wealth of insights that I am more than happy to pass on to anyone wanting to listen.

It all starts with a dream and hopefully any part of my story can give a little inspiration to others thinking of either starting a photography business or moving to a new country (or both!) The thing about sharing our stories is that it not only reinforces your own learning but also fosters a sense of community and connection with those around you. Full interview is live on their YouTube now so feel to jump in!

Also I've had more and more outreach from companies and creators to share some of my services on their blogs which is pretty awesome!

Recently I was introduced on JAPANKART's blog in their recent post Unforgettable Japan Travel Experiences Must Try Tours and Attractions.

Also recently had a nice review written about my Tokyo Workshops on popular Travel Blog Veronika's Adventure.

That's all for now! Going to bed early tonight as I have a full roster of 4 separate client appointments tomorrow starting with a cherry blossom shoot in one of the best "secret" spots in the Greater Tokyo area.

Thanks for reading.
