There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that make it possible to accurately reproduce a blur degree of an optical lens. A ray reproduction section reproduces rays to be incident to a virtual lens, which has a synthetic aperture configured from a plurality of image pickup sections that pick up images at a plurality of visual points, from a real space point in a real space. A light condensing processing section performs a light condensing process in which positioning of a position at which the rays are condensed on a virtual sensor through an emulation lens of an emulation target is performed depending upon an image plane shift position that is a position on the virtual sensor, which is reached by a principal ray emitted from the real space point through the emulation lens, and the ray is condensed on the virtual sensor.
