About Martin Bailey

A photographer at my core, I’ve had a camera in my hand most of the time since I was a teenager. I’ve lived in Japan since 1991. After working for a few years, I went to college here and graduated with honors in 1997, with a firm knowledge of emerging multi-media productions. When podcasting emerged in 2005 I started as the third photography Podcast in iTunes, and remain an active podcaster to this day. Almost all of our 800+ blog posts have an audio player so that you can listen along, or just read, if you prefer.

Tours & Workshops

Since 2008 I have been running tours & workshops in Japan, my home country, and around the world, in places like Antartica, South Georgia, Iceland, Greenland, Morroco and Namibia. My signature tours are based in Hokkaido, the northern-most island of Japan, where we do wildlife centric tours as well as minimalist winter landscape tours.
