“Photography of Tokyo’s modern architecture. ”
I can’t speak highly enough of Virginie. She thoroughly researched my request to photograph Tokyo’s modern architecture and took me on a wonderful tour. She also included information about the buildings like when they were built and who the architect was. She was friendly, prompt and extended the tour beyond the original 4 hours. I also learned a lot about Tokyo and Japanese culture from our conversations. Many, many thanks Virginie for a fabulous day.
