Learn how you can become a professional in photography not only in your own country but abroad! In particular, I teach you what I personally did in order to become a professional photographer for Marriott Hotels.

My name is Alfred Kan and I enjoy taking photography not only as a profession but for fun as well! Here are some ways that you can become a professional photographer abroad too! Currently located in Tokyo, Japan.

  1. Make Local Photographer Friends!

Use meet up! Join groups like Tokyo Street Photography, Night Photography in Tokyo, or even The Tokyo Photography Meetup Group. You can watch how they take their photos, and possibly they might even show you how they edited some of them. You will gain free photography lessons and also learn about what type of photos you want to continue to take or focus on. You can also get people to model for your shoots for free!

Also, some famous Japanese photographers will join the group below so get out there and make friends!!!
