The best nighttime photos I took in my life

5.00I wanted to learn more about nighttime photography. Irven took me to great spots, and he brought a tripod for me to use. He was very patient. I liked reviewing the shots during class and resetting for better and better shots. He was very generous with his time.
Visit popular places. Take one-of-a-kind photos.

5.00Another fabulous Aperture experience. Irven took us to spots that we never would have found even at the most popular tourist sites. With his patient instruction, we left with shots that will be the highlights of our albums. And learned plenty that we'll use in future trips. You can visit any of these places on your own. But you won't find the locations, angles, lighting and so on that Irven helped us find. !
Outstanding Experience with lots of variety!

5.00I've been on a lot of photo experiences around the world, and I have found that the best experiences tend to combine local places only a local would know (and have access to) with more well-known places but at the exact right time, which might not actually be when you'd expect. A good guide is indispensable for this. With this in mind, I have yet to find a guide as thorough and open to different experiences as Thomas. I opted for the full-day experience as I wanted to combine a nighttime session with some more customized, local places. A week or so before I even left, Thomas reached out and offered some places he knew of, a couple businesses and universities, for a more local, doc-style feel. We visited a priest who roasts exotic coffee, mother and daughter team custom perfume shop and got a private tour of Yoshida at Kyoto University. Shooting inside can be a challenge, but these places had nice big windows and loads of character. We finished the first session and met up later for sunset and evening at Kyoto Station, where going to the top floor gives some great architectural options, then headed to Gion for nighttime. Rather than chasing Maiko/Geisha, I wanted a darker, more dramatic feel and he took me down some little alleys and to the Yasaka shrine, which is lit well at night and looks toward a great street for light trails from traffic. I would probably have missed it but Thomas mentioned it specifically and it was indeed worth it. The beauty of an experience like this is that a good guide and company know not just the best places for what you are wanting to do, but Thomas was able to organize them in such a way that it maximizes the time you have. This is what you're really paying for, because it doesn't just ensure you get to great spots but that you can outsource the logistics, which frees up a lot more of your own time in a place. I would highly recommend Thomas and Aperture's Kyoto tour, you will have a great time and a reference point for how these things should be!
Thomas is just amazing

5.00I am really happy I booked this tour. From the communication before, till the tour itself, all went so good. I have mobility issues and when I informed them about this, Thomas my guide suggested already an alternative route so it would be easier for me. About Thomas…. What can I say. The guy is amazing. Not only a great photographer, but I had such a pleasant time walking and talking with him. He guided me through Kyoto, showing nice places but not forcing me to take any particular picture he wanted me to take. He let me see things for myself. I also brought a lens that I was not used to yet and he helped me so much with finally understanding how to use it. I had this tour early in my Japan trip and it helped me a lot with taking better pictures after I can only recommend. Especially Thomas!

5.00Had a wonderful evening out with Thomas doing street and landscape photography. I really appreciated is patience, input and artistic side of showing me the beauty of street photography. Working with Thomas was an absolute blessing and would recommend him highly when in Kyoto.

No better place to learn and explore than Kyoto with Thomas

5.00I am a beginning/amateur photographer so, I’ll be honest, I need a lot of help. While Thomas is a professional photographer his guidance and tips were easy to digest and I had a wonderful time improving and got some photos I will cherish as souvenirs of my time in Kyoto. Without going into too great of detail, I am confident that Thomas could guide someone of any skill level and that his knowledge of Kyoto and photography is what made for such a great tour. We visited some iconic spots that were empty and he showed us some more local locations that perfectly captured the feeling of Kyoto in a photo all while learning about Japan and photography. He was also quick on his feet to take the tour in a direction that I would enjoy and we often would go on “side quests” to capture something I showed an interest in. Overall, it was a perfect night tour of Kyoto with a world class guide.
Fantastic Night Photograhy Tour in Kyoto!
