Student Photographer and Content Contributor

During my three-month study abroad program in Japan with IES Abroad, I served as a student photographer and content contributor for the organization’s social media and website. My role involved capturing over 200 photographs that documented daily life, cultural experiences, and academic activities across multiple cities. The goal was to visually highlight the immersive nature of the program and inspire future students to explore study abroad opportunities in Japan.

I focused on creating images that reflected authentic cultural interactions, vibrant cityscapes, and moments of connection between students and local communities. The photographs were used in IES Abroad’s marketing materials, including online galleries, newsletters, and social media campaigns. This experience strengthened my skills in visual storytelling, brand communication, and cross-cultural engagement, while also deepening my appreciation for Japan’s culture and design aesthetics.
