About Paul

Paul Crouse has been a Kyoto resident since 1995.  

Prior to that, he worked for seven years as a photojournalist with the Grand Rapids Press newspaper in Michigan, USA. 

Seeking a new life, Paul sold his things and jumped on a plane to Japan at a friend's urging. He instantly felt at home in Kyoto.

"Kyoto is really a unique and wonderful city. I continually find new and interesting places - even after all of these years living here. I am really fortunate to live in such a great place."

Paul has a minimalist approach to camera equipment and encourages others to not bring the kitchen sink with them while they travel.

"So many times I see tourists carrying giant bags full of really nice gear, and looking miserable," says Paul

"Great photography is not about the equipment; it is about being in the right place and taking the time to see -- to be in the moment."

Paul has a considerable experience teaching and can help you improve your images right away. And his knowledge of the city and its history can help you have an excellent experience.
