About Evan

After spending my childhood in North Carolina, I moved to Miami for college. I studied photojournalism and visual communications at the University of Miami. That’s where I realized I could combine my love for sports and photography. It was amazing to think I could watch basketball or football, take photos, and get paid for it! I thought I had found my perfect job. But then I graduated and felt like I needed something more.

I decided to explore the world and ended up spending almost four years in Japan. While there, I taught English and traveled around Asia as a freelance photographer. This time really opened my eyes. With my camera, I started to appreciate nature and portrait photography a lot more. But the best part was meeting my future wife. We clicked right away, and I feel so lucky that we found each other. There’s nothing better than seeing her smile and hearing her laugh.

Another big thing happened in Japan. I gave my first tour of the country to my family. It made me realize that I could bring together my love for photography, Japan, and meeting new people. By sharing my knowledge and skills, I could help others have a meaningful and fun time in Japan. This became a new passion for me.

Now, when I’m not giving tours in Japan, I work as a professional photographer. I’m based in Raleigh, NC, but I’m happy to travel for work.
