  • bio

    Atsuko Tanaka brings quite a unique perspective to the world of photography. Born and raised in Tokyo, Tanaka moved to New York in the mid-nineties after she graduated college in LA to pursue a career as a photographer. Upon arrival she quickly became a sought after commodity in the entertainment world. Her inviting visual style was a perfect match for the new renaissance of urban music, and she was hand picked by many of the top entertainers and tastemakers. Along the way she also established herself as a top talent in the advertising and fashion worlds as well. When one views her work, it is easy to see the passion that Tanaka puts into it. As she puts it, "the image comes from inside of my heart", it's more of a feeling than anything else. Some examples of that feeling being captured is in her stunning work with the late Lisa Left Eye Lopez of the multi-platinum group T.L.C.,　her humorous shots of Eminem & her glamour photos of Eve. At this stage in her career, Tanaka has begun to work on everyday still-life shots and is even in the beginning stages of putting together a book of her work, but don't think that she's moved on from entertainers just yet, "I love working with creative types. The energy that I get from them really inspires me to try and conceptualize and frame photos in new ways." With an impressive body of work behind her, Atsuko Tanaka will continue to dazzle us with her creative eye and visual spirit. Come in and enjoy her take on today's world.
