Madoka Takei (b. 1999) is a freelance photographer based in London, originally from Japan, with a diverse background in Singapore. Specialising in fine art, portrait, and fashion photography, Madoka's work is characterised by its constructed and conceptual approach, as well as art direction. Her passion for photography began in high school when she received her first camera from her grandmother. What started as a hobby of capturing people evolved into a deeper exploration of visual storytelling.

After completing her BA in Tokyo, she took a bold step and moved to the UK to pursue an MA in Photography, despite having studied a completely different field in her undergraduate years. This transition marked a significant turning point in her career, allowing her to experiment with new techniques and ideas. Madoka is particularly intrigued by the intersection of photography and painting, often blending the two mediums to create unique artistic expressions. Her work reflects a constant exploration of visual narratives, identity, and the relationship between fine art and photography. Through her lens, she captures not only images but also emotions and stories, creating visual compositions that challenge the conventional boundaries of photography.
