    Koichiro Doi, born in Tokyo, studied fashion design before shifting his focus to photography. His main passion was for still life, but he acquired technical techniques and skills in beauty photography as well.
    He studied fashion at Parsons School of Design before realizing that it was actually photography he aspired to pursue. Upon his return to Tokyo he began to shoot and develop his own techniques, without any formal training. Seeing his portfolio and the roster of cutting edge brands and companies he has worked with, it is easy to see he has mastered the craft of beauty and still life photography.

    Sam Kaplan

    Sam Kaplan, New York City based still-life photographer, was born and raised in Boston.

    He received a B.A. from Wesleyan University, in studio art and art history. Sam studied both conceptual sculpture and traditional photography.

    Through commercial photography Sam is able to exercise his two favorite skills – creative problem solving and conceptual thinking.
    Kaplan understood early on that a successful career isn’t just about taking a great photo; it’s about marketing. A look at his website and other promotional material clearly defines where he’s coming from as a photographer.

    “I try and take away as much from the picture as possible until I get to its essence. I think when you start adding a lot of elements to the picture, you’re often detracting from whatever the picture is trying to say. It’s a reductive process. I want to get to the root of the problem.” Sam Kaplan
