Kana Okada
Born in Tokyo, Japan, Kana Okada found her passion for photography after going to an
Annie Leibowitz show as a high school student. It was there she realized "the power of a
photograph". In 2000 she moved to New York, where she currently resides, to study
Photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
As a food and still photographer, Kana emphasizes "shooting objects that are ordinarily
organic and translucent...finding, through the light of the subject, extraordinary aspects of
things that we see every day".
