Pianist Maki Namekawa
I’ve always found inspiration in art, film, and music. I’ve listened to Philip Glass’s compositions performed by the incredible pianist Maki Namekawa for years. Last year, I finally had the chance to see her live in NYC, playing a mesmerizing double piano recital with her husband, Dennis Russell Davies—and it completely blew me away.
Having Maki in the studio for a portrait session was an absolute privilege. Not only is she a phenomenal artist, but her warmth, humility, and effortless presence made the experience even more special. I am grateful for the opportunity to capture her essence through my lens.
