About Atsushi Maeda : Atsushi Maeda is a professional photographer based in Tokyo, Japan. His interest in photography started in 2004 when he was still a university student. He was in charge of the stage lighting at the university and worked as a lighting assistant for a team that created TV adverts and promotion videos for music artists. His fascination of how light and shadow created a different perception in color, texture, form and ambience soon progressed to using the camera to capture a fragment of his imagination.

Currently, he is interested in the life of the streets and capturing moments of "Ma", the space and dialogue.
