Maru Teppei is a fashion and portrait photographer originally from Tokyo, Japan. He completed his studies at the School of Visual Arts (Tokyo) while gaining seminal experience assisting several established photographers.

Working under world-renowned photographer Craig McDean, Maru developed an extensive technical expertise of fashion and portraiture during these formative years. He fine-tuned a keen sense of beauty and honed in on how to orchestrate his surroundings to create arresting images.

Maru’s photographs evoke a vivid sense of visual engagement with his subject - creating a bridge between fashion and portrait photography. His surrealistic aesthetics redefine the expression of beauty, capturing moments which in turn break free from the constrains of time.
