Hello, My name is Masahiro Sawada.

I’m a Digital Matte Painter / Environment Artist based in Vancouver. I was studying film making at Ritsumeikan University in Japan. After a while, I realized that I wanted to deal with more about post production which is like VFX. Then I quit my University to study high-end VFX at Vancouver Institute of Media Arts (Vanarts). Currently pursuing a diploma in Visual Effects from Vanarts.

My specialization is to make photorealistic environments with mixing 2D matte painting and 3D environments. Not just software knowledge, I also have a strong artistic eye with lighting, composition, perspective, eye direction and so on.
