Join Mark de Paola in Tokyo, Japan May 22-30, 2025 for an unforgettable week immersed in Japanese photographic culture shooting fashion, portraiture, and fine art work. It is no secret as to why many call Tokyo the photographic capital of the world. With an incredible cultural reverence for the craft, a rich history in bookmaking, and countless artists throughout history, photography proves to be at the very heart of Tokyo. Having had several exhibitions and worked in Tokyo throughout his career, de Paola has wanted for years to share a behind the scenes exclusive experience of Tokyo, and 2025 is the year.
Immerse yourself in Japanese cuisine, culture, and craft through Mark’s lens. By application only, attendees will explore and capture fashion and portraiture in Tokyo’s various neighborhoods. Stay in Ginza, Tokyo’s most luxurious shopping and cuisine neighborhood, wander the streets of Omotesando shooting portraiture and rest between looks at the new Leica Flagship with a swanky vinyl listening bar, explore the photo book stores of Shinjuku, capture fashion looks in front of some of Tokyo’s most iconic facades in Shibuya, and finally rest at the end of each day with a handmade hot cup of matcha.
Tokyo 2025 with Mark de Paola and in partnership with Camera West & Leica Store San Francisco will excite your photographic portfolio with new imagery and narrative, awaken your understanding of Japan’s incredible photography culture, and push your artistic journey forward amongst a group of very special artists.
