Clean Cut Masaki: An Interview by Natalie Maddon

Masaki is a man of few words. He keeps it short, sweet, and to the point. He lets his images speak for themselves, and they have got a lot to say. His work is always immaculately executed and full of depth. I think you will all agree, the man from Japan is top notch.

N: Natalie  M: Masaki

N:  Tell me about yourself. What is Masaki the person behind the crazy images like?

M:  “You are crazy” is often said. However, the friends who I’ve actually met through the photograph have said, “Masaki is an ordinary person”.

That’s right, I am an ordinary person.

N:  What is your process like? Do you have an idea mapped out before you start or do your images sort of create themselves as you go?

M:  In most cases, I start to make a state in which the image has been completed in my head. An idea floats and is inspired by photos, posters, illustrations, music, movies and many things.

N:  Do you have any favorite apps or tricks that you would like to share?

M:  My favorite apps  are Artstudio,VSCO CAM, Afterligh, Mextures and Photo Forge 2. iColorama, Repix, and Filter Storm are also great.

N:  Your images are very thought provoking. Do any of your photos have special meaning to you? Do you have a very favorite photo?

M:  Thank you very much!My photos do not have a meaning intentionally. I want you to look at my photos in a free interpretation. My favorite photo(edit) is to shatter the body.I think there is an impact, and each viewer is able to imagine.

N:  Did you go to school for photography/design or are you self-taught?

M:  I’m self-taught. My grandfather was an instructor of the camera, I learned to look at the pictures of him.

N:  What other hobbies do you have other than photography?

M:  I play guitar.
