裏東京
SF世界
ストリートフォト
旅先
東京の街は、夜に姿を変える。ネオンが輝き、街を青や赤、紫がかった魅惑の色に染める。歓楽街の核、歌舞伎町の路地裏を彷徨いながら、ネオン霞の奥に隠れた世界観を味わう。光を避けた通り過ぎてしまうような狭い路地は電線やパイプでひしめき合い、闇の住人の出入りする裏世界へと繋がっている。雨の日の雰囲気は、格別。
撮るもの・学べること
彩る夜の東京を、様々なストリート写真のスキルを練習しながら探検。夜のストリート撮影における適切なカメラ設定に加え、車の流し撮りや、反射を使ったクリエイティブな撮影テクニック、コントラストが激しく暗い状況下でのシルエット撮影の方法を学ぶ。三脚を使わずにいかにして夜の街を撮るか、カメラの最大限の活かし方を学ぶ。
探検ルート
大都会東京の中心とも言える新宿から始まる。思い出横丁をすり抜け、歌舞伎町に至る。東京人ならよく知る場所や歓楽街でも、いつもとは違った視点で見たり、活気溢れるエリアを抜け、暗い裏路地を中心に探検。渋谷へ移動し、SF映画を彷彿させるような、電線やパイプで覆われた古びた建物や雑居ビルを散策。最後は渋谷の歓楽街、道玄坂エリアを抜け、渋谷交差点に戻りワークショップは終了。

I had awesome time with Lukasz – He has a great eye for good scenes and I was happy to learn some of his tricks. Its already my second tour with Eyexplore and I highly recommend to do the Cyberpunk Streets of Tokyo private tour – its 3 hours long but totally worth it!

Just awesome; in about 3 hours your photography skills will be boosted ( it doesn’t matter if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced photographer). Lukasz adapts to your needs and your gear. I’ve been doing photography seriously for about 3 years and i learned really a lot in this workshop. It is not just about how to use your gear, is a composition, framing and perception course. Everyone who wants to learn night street photography should schedule a workshop like this in Tokyo.

I had only 3 nights in Tokyo. And I spent 2 of them doing the Cyberpunk workshop. And so thankful I did.
Lukasz was very chill and pleasant to hang with. Plus, he wore many hats. Location scout. Photo assistant (when needed). And informative tour guide for Tokyo’s night life, vs. the traditional tours you get during the day. I loved it. I enjoyed getting a better understanding of the people and locations we were shooting in.
Little time was wasted. We would go to various locations. Explore the area. Wait if we had a feeling about a shot or move on if it wasn’t happening. Lukasz was patient with my instincts, but also offered advice/techniques to help me execute whatever shot I was trying to get.
After the first night, I mentioned to Lukasz the kind of “”street”” locations I preferred and he tweaked the second night’s adventure toward those types of locations. I couldn’t have been happier.
My goal was to shoot as much of Tokyo at night as possible, in a condensed amount of time. And the Cyberpunk workshop more than exceeded that goal. Bravo!

I’ve done three photowalks with EyExplore in Tokyo over 2 years – Temples & Shrines, Tokyo by Night, and CyberPunk. I learned a lot of new techniques from extremely talented and creative professionals, and I got to see parts (or perspectives) of Tokyo I wouldn’t ordinarily have experienced! I highly recommend EyExplore!

A great introduction to the bright lights and interesting places of Shinjuki and Shibuya. Lukasz is a very accomplished photographer and gave us great guidance on settings and techniques for shooting at night. It gave us a good understanding of the area and the confidence to go out shooting on our own. The tour visits some bar, entertainment and red light areas, great for photography but perhaps not suitable for youngsters.

It was rainy evening, streets were flooded with transparent umbrellas and people under them soaked their faces in neons glows. Lukasz guided me through Shinjuku and Shibuya and helped me to capture those moments. He was giving hints where and how to look, showed me simple but effective technics of changing shutter speed and aperture according to situation. Three hours passed quickly on talks about places we visited, photographic equipment and life in Tokyo. After this workshop I feel hunger for more wandering the back streets with my camera, and thanks to Lukasz I feel more confident. I think this was one of the best experience I had during my stay in Tokyo.

Lukasz was a terrific guide and teacher during our time together exploring the backstreets of Tokyo! I learned how to setup my camera for the situation and how to visualize the scenes in new and creative ways.

Lukasz is an amazing guide and a great teacher. If you traveling to Tokyo and want to get some amazing photos go on this photo tour/class it’s truly worth it. No matter how experienced or inexperienced you are Lukasz will be able to either help you get to the next level of your photography or show you some amazing places you would be hard pressed to find by yourself.

I highly recommend the cyberpunk streets of Tokyo workshop. You get to see many great photography locations that would be normally hidden to the uninitiated. I also learned some new techniques and a good number of practical tips from Lukasz.

Great night photography tour through Tokyo. Lukasz knows a lot about photography and the city. The sessions includes various locations to get various street photography shots of Shinjuku and Shibuya. Good for solo traveller but also couples and small group of friends.

Being an enthusiast photographer, I wanted to explore more of Japan during my time here. I found eyexplore online and my brother and I decided to do the ‘Tokyo Cyberpunk Streets’ course. We were met by out instructor, Lukasz, at the station and from there he took us on a very scenic route of Tokyo. Lukasz was great, he was very friendly and he took us to many locations that we would never even think to explore. This made our experience fascinating (as we really did not know what would be round the corner). Lukasz taught us many new compositional techniques and he explained to us how to get the best exposure in the most efficient way possible. The shots created from these locations were great and Lukasz consistently gave me and my brother feedback on our photos. He told us what we had done well and how we could improve. The ‘Tokyo Cyberpunk Streets’ course was an amazing choice and it allowed us to shoot exactly what we wanted to in Tokyo – the well renowned Tokyo night life. Lukasz was also very accommodating and when I told him that my knowledge of the technical side of photography stretched further than my brother’s he adapted his explaining of things to him. If you are in Japan and enjoy photography, I would highly recommend that you go on one of these courses. There is a wide variety of different courses, so you are able to do what you enjoy. The photographers are knowledgable, friendly and, put simply, just brilliant! They ensure to show you the ‘real’ Japan! Personally, as an amateur photographer, this was one of the highlights of my trip! P.s He even gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. 🙂
