The Ultimate Sony Photography Experience

5 Days Across Japan with Sony Advocate Eric Peng

With expert instruction, full-day guided photo walks, and hands-on access to Sony’s top-tier cameras (Alpha 1, Alpha 7R V, Alpha 9 III), this is more than a workshop—it’s a full-sensory, lens-forward adventure.
