SnowDog Village - Dog portrait event with Tomohiro Nakamichi

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.

Why not join us for one of his quarterly seasonal events at SnowDog Village?

• "He caught that exact moment of pure joy my dog felt. I couldn't have done that myself."
• "That connection that exists solely between owner and animal was evident in the shot."
