Capture the spirit of your dog in an outdoor photo session!

Professional nature and animal photographer Tomohiro Nakamichi will hold a workshop in the natural environment around SnowDog Village Niseko.
It is said in the film and television industry that working with animals is difficult at the best of times. However, Nakamichi-san's keen eye and ability to capture the character and spirit of your dog is undeniable.
A former dog trainer and professional nature and animal photographer, he takes exceptional photos of dogs in the impressive natural surroundings of Niseko.
