“A perfect image is a rare moment when all elements align- the light, the composition, the gesture, the expression. You, as a photographer, are not there. you, as a photographer, become a channel for the extraordinary moment that is in front of you.”    

-Miki Iwamura

Miki Iwamura was born in Japan and raised in Tokyo and New York. Her formative years have developed a strong foundation for diversity, which eventually led her to various corners of the world with a camera. For her, travel is about learning and observing nuances and traditions. ​

“My aim is to photograph the spirit of the moment and place, as is, without judgment, and bring awareness to what we overlook or unaware of.”

​Iwamura's projects are driven by a belief in respect, empathy, and perceiving through a multi-perspective lens, despite existing differences.​
Her photographs have been exhibited in the United States and abroad, in online publications, and small print publications.
