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. He has been working as a professional photographer specializing in food and fine art. One of his series is exhibited in the guest rooms at the St. Regis Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Currently, he is interested in the life of the streets and capturing moments of "Ma", the space and dialogue.
