Japan 2013 Participant’s Gallery


1) Barbara White

“I recently went on a winter workshop with Art Wolfe to Japan. The places we went were fantastic, the photographic opportunities were great, the people on the tour were lots of fun, and last, but not least, Art was really a great guy to be around. He was always helpful with photo tips and always had us in the right place at the right time. I wouldn’t hesitate to go on another workshop with him.”

4) Jim Waterbury

“Another wonderful workshop!  It’s hard to beat these trips — Art and Gavriel are great leaders — knowledgeable, enthusiastic, with a lifetime of experience in wildlife and nature photography, and fun to travel with.  Art’s vision is truly inspirational … he has a unique ability to teach the “art” side of photography.  And this was a terrific opportunity to experience the natural beauty of rural Japan and be exposed to some amazing wildlife.  Can’t wait for the next trip! “
