Editorial, Wedding and Commercial Tokyo Photographer – Irwin Wong bio picture

Irwin Wong - Photographer

Welcome to my blog.

If you don't already know me, my name is Irwin Wong, and I'm an editorial photographer based in Tokyo, Japan.  I'm also affiliated with Japanorama.co.uk - the fastest growing source English-language source for learning photography in Tokyo - where I teach a series of lighting workshops.

This blog showcases some of my recent work, as well as photos from the workshops and classes I teach.  Hope you enjoy it, and you can always find more of my photos at my homepage here.

Flash Workshop – Komazawa Park

Sometimes I get to work with people who are great. Very rarely do I get to work with people who blow me away.  This weekend’s workshop was one of those times – Gabriel and Julia are the type of people who are just sensational in front of the camera. I used to steer away from...
