The group woke up bright and early and headed for the world’s busiest train station, Shinjuku station, for some chaotic rush hour photography. Trip experts James Delano and Tino Soriano helped our students brave the crowds and gave them pointers on photographing the exhausted commuters.
Later, we explored the trendy neighborhood of Harajuku and students practiced their portraiture by photographing local youths and their famous eclectic styles.
After a long day of walking the streets of Tokyo, we ended the night at Shibuya crossing, one of the busiest pedestrian intersections and recognizable Japanese landmarks, where students photographed locals and neon lights.
