Welcome to Kage Musha Photography. I'm Peter Salas, the owner and creator of the site. It has been a dream of mine to start my own website and business, and after several long years, it has finally become a reality in 2010!

So why Kage Musha? The literal translation is:

Loosely translated, it refers to a martial artist in disguise, which is in essence what I am. I have 22 years of Traditional Martial Arts experience. Alongside my passion for photography, I am also a black belt and a member of the California State Demo Team MTeam TaeKwonDo!

Kage is also a reference to the use of 'shadow' and 'light' to create an image; after all, in order to capture a spectacular moment requires the mastery of both! My goal is first and foremost to provide quality photos to all customers. To accomplish that requires careful planning and good communication in order to set expectations and of course cover important formalities (where and when?)

For those who are extremely critical and know Japanese, you may have also noticed the 'play-on-words' for the word 'Sha'; it is actually part of the word 'photography' in Japanese, which sounds the same!

If you should have any questions about pictures or my services, please feel free to Email me or use my Webform to contact me!
