Masami’s introduction to still life began at Macy’s photo studio, where she trained in photographing reflective surfaces. Starting with jewellery then expanding into cosmetics, she developed a deep technical understanding of light, precision, and surface. 

Along the way, Masami cultivated a strong appreciation for design, texture, and composition—approaching each project much like fine art drawing or painting. Masami brings the same narrative sensibility to still-life as she does to faces, balancing meticulous lighting with an intuitive sense of form and storytelling.

Her clients include Maybelline, Kylie Cosmetics, Indie Lee, Soap & Glory, and Kiss USA.
