Hashimura followed the mantra “let the product be the star” and used the framing and composition in addition to his expert knowledge of the camera to showcase the natural beauty of the object. Hashimura favored used spot lighting and dark backgrounds, giving inanimate objects mood and emotion. These images were shot in a large commercial studio with multiple assistants and an 8x10 film camera. Something that is evident in all of Hashimura's work is the idea of the importance of timing.

    As he states ““From the perspective of the history of the earth which is said to be 4.6 billion years, a human life is as short as the moments that the super high-speed strobes used to take Action Still Life flashes for. The length of time is very much relative. Regardless of how finely it is captured, each moment is packed with countless dramas and incidents.” It is this dedication to innovation and the beauty in fine details that has propelled Hashimura's work forward.

    Belinda Rathbone, a photography historian, writes about Hashimura in a critical essay, "To begin with he must have an active imagination. No less essential, he must possess a flawless technique to match it. The game he plays in not unlike the magician’s: his result must be fantastic, his technique invisible.... The portfolio that follows might be viewed as Hashi’s personal bag of tricks, a collection of fantasies that he has successfully made real. It is into this wonderful bag that it is high client’s privilege to dip for ideas."
