Hey, I’m Maya!

I am a photographer and runner deeply intertwined with the rhythms of the natural world, my mission is to create and capture the raw beauty and spirit of the outdoors for those who also feel this affinity to mother nature. By being conscious about humanity's impact on our only home, I strive to approach each project with respect for the wild places and create work that celebrates the remarkable entangled lives. Inspiring imagery, both visually and conceptually, is at the forefront of my practice and, through my quiet confidence and innovative eye, I aim to bring your vision to life. Let's begin the search for a deeper connection with the root of what keeps us alive and share the stories it tells.
