A bit about
LAURA
I'm a freelance writer and photographer working in Tokyo, Japan. Living in one of the most fast-paced cities in the world means that there are always new stories to find, new people to meet, and new places to explore, and I relish the opportunity to do all that and more. I don't simply observe the goings on in Japan, I get stuck in. Becoming an active participant in the community offers me invaluable insight into the culture and the people that live here which I then translate into my articles and images to create engaging and insightful content. If you have a story that needs telling or want someone who can bring Japan to life for your readers then please get in touch.
