Testimonials: From Ian "Thanks again for the two recent Photography Tours/ Workshops: Japan in Feb 2011 and The Philippines in Feb 2012. The arrangements for and the conduct of both tours was hassle free due to your knowledge of both countries, especially Japan were efficient and without incident. which made the tours most enjoyable. On both tours I received valuable guidance and assistance in the use of my cameras and lenses and still apply your valuable tips in composing my photos. The production of the photo book using some of the photos of Japan entailed quite a bit of work and was very satisfying to see the final product. The highlight for both tours was going to locations which were not normally visited by tourists particularly in the Philippines where we went to fairly remote areas.

From Vic: " I went to Japan in Spring of 2009 and experienced the cherry blossoms. The highlight was Matsumoto castle and the food. I have a much better understanding of my camera and would consider joining Alfonso again on one of his overseas tours because of his knowledge of photography, language, culture and teaching me all aspects of photography anytime during the trip together. Very valuable asset to have all in one and most importantly the flexibility to decide where and when to go on each day."

From David: "My wife, Merrilyn and I went on a photographic tour of Japan in November 2008 organised by Alfonso Calero, A professional photographer from Lane Cove, Sydney Australia.
Alfonso had lived in Japan and speaks fluent Japanese. We both used Pentax Digital SLR cameras
on manual settings with Alfonso instructing. The beauty of having someone as knowledgeable as Alfonso was wonderful as he was able to assist us in how to look for the best shots possible.
The other great asset of traveling with Alfonso was his knowledge of spoken Japanese and ability to 
talk to the average person in the street .We also met a number of Alfonso's friends who took great delight in taking us to their local area, bars and eating establishments that the average tourist would never find. I would recommend anyone to join Alfonso's Japan Photography Tour."

From Uko: "I attended the photography tour to Japan in November of 2012. The highlight is difficult to pick one as I think the whole trip was a continuos experience of sights/sounds/culture and gastronomic wonders. Each day presented new wonders and delights. You have opened doors I would not have ventured  in on my own. Your knowledge of the language and culture gave me confidence in a strange land. I think I have learnt a lot about composition. Your tour is highly recommendable and I am now thinking of joining you in Spain."
