Hi everyone!
Japan is easily in the top 5 countries in the world for photographic iconic imagery!
Join us at the height of Cherry Blossom season in the Medieval Palaces of the old Japanese Capital of Kyoto followed by the modern epic that is Tokyo, Japan! Right as the pink cherry blossom flowers are blossoming!
Japan has been an absolute dream of mine as a photographer for over a decade. From the Samurai era ancient castles of Imperial Japan in Kyoto, to the modern skyscrapers in Tokyo, the largest city in the world - you will be transported in time and space to an entire new world.
Capture the art of a lifetime, while all internal travel plans are taken care of for you.
You will have FOUR world-class photographers at your disposal - guiding and coaching you photographically every step of the way as we explore the marvel of Japan together.
Imagine the thrill of traveling through world famous bamboo forests, cherry blossoms, castles, Shinto Temples, Mt Fuji, tea houses, geisha culture and winding rivers!
Capture timeless photographs that you can show off to friends and family and sell online for the rest of your life!
This workshop is more than just an opportunity to learn about photography, it's also a chance to get your first online store up and make your first photography sales!
I guarantee that you will leave this workshop with your first online shop up and ready to go and many of you will make their first sales while on this workshop!
This is an opportunity like no other. The first in-person workshop of its kind, that not only helps you capture world class images, but helps you sell them too!
The in person insights you’ll gain by being around my team of pro photographers and I that are making a killing selling their art online is a chance that may never come around again.
In our group, The Thriving Artists (go from Starving Artist to Thriving Artist!) the student body sells $500,000/month or more of their own art and this is a white glove opportunity to learn from the very best, get your questions answered, get your online shop launched, and if you’re already launched how to massively improve your sales in just 7 short days!
Clifton Haley (of Monday Nuts and Bolts Fame!) will be there with me and you every step of the way!
Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture, indulge in delicious food, and mingle with the locals!
I am thrilled to be hosting this workshop and can guarantee it will create incredible memories for all participants.
I want each of you to be able to enjoy the city to the fullest extent possible, so to ensure an immersive and personalized experience, this workshop will only accommodate 14 seats to ensure premium, personalized attention, care and coaching.
Much Love, Craig Alexander
