Tsubasa Matsumoto is a bilingual Tokyo and New York-based director and cinematographer whose work combines cinematic storytelling with a deeply human sense of observation.
A graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Tsubasa works across commercials, fashion films, music videos, documentaries, and narrative film. His work is defined by carefully considered imagery, emotional authenticity, and a quiet attention to the details that make a scene feel real.
Often working as his own cinematographer, Tsubasa brings a close relationship between direction and image-making to every project. His visual style can move from intimate and observational to bold and cinematic, while always maintaining a strong sense of atmosphere and emotional truth.
Tsubasa is drawn to projects with a strong human core, particularly films that can be visually beautiful, emotionally resonant, and genuinely memorable.
