Masa Hoss did not set out to find an art practice, instead it found her.

It was while pausing a flourishing business career to have children, Masa picked up a camera and thought to wonder, “How does one visualise the feeling of a moment?” 

With this question in mind Masa turned her attention to creative photography, studying with the New York Institute of Photography in 2016 subsequently taking on an ever growing variety of commissions. 
A unique mix of creative vision and visual precision distinguishes her work, influenced by a career as a strategist and an academic background in engineering.

Her work is informed by a passionate thirst for enquiry and an aesthetic awareness gathered from the cultural influences of Iran, New Zealand, Japan and Australia, concentrating on brand, portrait and art photography, and her practice of sumi ink painting.

Masa’s minimalist visualisations transport us with reverence, humour and gratitude to a realm of contemplation, a moment of calm to breathe and focus. It invites us to pay compassionate attention, to feel our connection and belonging to this world
