Why not go beyond simply taking beautiful forest photos and unlock the full potential of your work as art? This premium membership is a subscription-based service where you can learn online the specialized knowledge and creative processes for "forest landscapes" that I have developed over the years. Join the FPM membership today and expand your photographic horizons!

Membership Perks

1. Retouching Video Tutorials

I regularly upload video tutorials on the Tutorial page demonstrating the exact retouching techniques I use in my daily work. These tutorials will help you master the ideal editing approaches tailored to different seasons and weather conditions. You will also get access to downloadable Photoshop actions, which you can use to streamline your own editing process.

* Please note: You will need Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and the TK Lum-Mask Plugin (available for free) installed to follow along.

2. Members-Only Photography Workshops

While my standard workshops are held within Nagano Prefecture, membership grants you access to an expanded range of locations across the Kanto-Koshinetsu region (destinations outside this area can be arranged upon request). This allows you to experience shooting in diverse natural environments.

3. Community Support & Image Critiques

Through our dedicated Discord server, you can receive personalized guidance to elevate your photography. Whether you need clarification on a tutorial video, advice on gear, or help with weather forecasting and location scouting, you can get quick answers to all your questions. Furthermore, the Discord community serves as a collaborative hub where passionate, like-minded photographers can network and exchange ideas.

  • Gear advice

  • Location weather & conditions

  • Retouching workflows

  • Image critiques and feedback

  • General Q&A

    Joining the membership gives you direct, near-real-time access to answers that are otherwise difficult to find.

Since the community is hosted entirely on Discord, please ensure you create an account and install the app before signing up.

4. FPM + Workshop Plans (Premium & Lite)

In addition to all standard benefits, the FPM + Workshop plans include complimentary shooting-only sessions. Premium members can attend one workshop per month, while Lite members can attend one every two months. The Premium plan offers an annual discount value of approximately 100,000 JPY (effectively 45% off per workshop), and the Lite plan offers around 40,000 JPY in annual savings (effectively 38% off per workshop), making both options highly cost-effective. Please note that we are looking for passionate individuals genuinely dedicated to improving their photography skills. To ensure fairness, members who cancel after a short period solely to take advantage of the discount may be barred from rejoining the community in the future. To book your free workshop, please check the available dates on our website, then contact us via email or social media DM with your preferred schedule. If you would like to add a retouching lesson to your session, an additional fee of 5,000 JPY will be billed afterward. We appreciate it if you could inform us of this request when setting dates. Please be aware that multiple members may attend on the same day. Membership content and benefits may be updated periodically to ensure the best possible experience for our community.
