Yuki Yoshimatsu

I'm a Japanese individual raised in the vibrant tapestry of Mexico, navigating an international school with an American curriculum. Exposed to three diverse cultures, I've cultivated the ability to collaborate seamlessly, engage with people across borders, and maintain an insatiable curiosity for the world. Amidst this cultural tapestry, my heart found solace in the arts. Fueled by a passion for creative expression, my journey is marked by an unwavering commitment to continuous learning and elevating my craft. My story reflects the enriching power of cultural diversity, the allure of artistic exploration, and a perpetual thirst for knowledge.

Through my film, I explore the complex psyche of human emotions. I create stories that dive deep into the character’s emotional arc. I love to question why we do things, and what makes us human. I am a strong believer that the story is the most important part of any film. Everything may look and sound amazing, but if the story is lacking, the film would not have reached its full potential.

My photographs, on the other hand, showcase mundane routines in life with a touch of voyeuristic, cinematic quality that highlights the simple joys of life. I am an avid street photographer. I love observing people and creating stories around them. I hope that through my photographs I’m able to paint a glimpse of main-character-energy to my subjects -we all are, after all, the main character within our movie.
