Truly, Martin, I have been participating in workshops for many years with some of the world’s best, but your commitment to helping your clients realize their full potential as artists — in preparation, image capture, and post-capture interpretation — is without...
Martin is an excellent teacher. Very patient, and with a wonderful sense of humour. He knows Japan, particularly Hokkaido, because he’s lived here for over 26 years, and has chosen excellent locations, none of which disappointed – no small feat considering how reliant...
I am a fine art photographer and I always dreamed about photographing Japanese landscapes in winter. I heard about Martin Bailey and his photography and he is pretty much the only one offering this kind of tours in Hokkaido, so I signed up. It was a great experience,...
I really enjoyed the Hokkaido Landscape Photography Adventure tour. Not only did I make many nice images, I also appreciated very much the opportunity to get to know Martin and the other nice participants with whom I spent the 12 incredible days. I came back with...
In Jan 2017 I had the opportunity to travel with Martin and a group of talented and passionate photographers on the Hokkaido Winter Photography Adventure. It was a great experience over 12 days of intense immersion in photography. Martin knows this part of the world...

In January 2017 I joined Martin’s Hokkaido Winter Landscape Photography Adventure for the second time, and it was at least as enjoyable as the first. Martin runs an excellent operation with the best hotels and oodles of individual space on the bus, from which...
I joined Martin on his January 2017 Landscape Photography tour to Hokkaido, Japan. What an amazing, extremely well-organized photography tour! Martin’s team of a very experienced coach driver and tour administrator made sure that the holiday went smoothly and...
I highly recommend Martin Bailey’s Hokkaido tour, in particular, because Martin is not only a responsible, knowledgeable, forthcoming and nice guy, but also a superb photographer himself, who knows all the right places. Martin’s organization was meticulous...
Martin’s passion for photography is infectious. Whether you’re standing in the dark, at minus 15 degrees, wearing nearly every item of clothing you brought, waiting for a sunrise, or sitting on the floor in traditional Japanese attire over dinner (with...
The Martin Bailey Hokkaido experience is a cornucopia of great photography locations, people, learning, and fellowship. It was as much a cultural experience as it was a photographic one. Martin’s command of the language and familiarity with the locations ensured...
