Services
Three ways to work together.
Pick the one that matches the state your space is in today.
Styling & photography
Your space is furnished but not quite there.
I style what you already have, then photograph it. Small changes to layout, textiles and details make a big difference on camera. Where something is missing, I advise on what to add and how to arrange it, so that every room reads as part of one cohesive, considered style across the property.
Full transformation
Your space is empty, unfinished, or needs a new character.
I design the look of each room and source the pieces to match: antiques and new, mirrors, frames, lighting, textiles, tiles, plants. I negotiate with dealers and workshops, coordinate deliveries and style the rooms on site. Then I photograph the result. You get a property that is ready to rent or sell, and the images to show it.
Edited images delivered within 3 to 7 working days of the shoot.
Fast, because the hard part was learnt years ago;
precise, because it was learnt properly.
Pricing
Every project is quoted individually.
The price depends on the size of the space, the location and how many final images you need. As a rough guide:
Photography1–3 nightsAbout the cost of one to three nights' stay at your property.
Styling & photography2–4 nightsAbout the cost of two to four nights' stay at your property.
Full transformationOn requestDepends on what the space needs. Send a few photos of it as it is today and a note on what you have in mind. We arrange a visit so I can see the property in person, and after that I prepare a detailed quote.
About
Ciao, I'm Maia.
Wherever I was taken as a child, beauty was everywhere, but nobody else seemed to be looking. At fifteen, an arts academy in Ukraine handed me the tools of the trade: oil, charcoal, pencil, clay, music, poetry… many different languages for one obsession: to notice, and to express what I saw. Everything since has been built on that foundation.
Early training in photography, hours in a darkroom, a camera obscura built by hand, gave me a grounding in the craft that taught me to trust my own eye. That confidence has stayed with me. It made me one of the few finalists in the worldwide Travel Photographer of the Year competition in 2016; it gave me a small family and children's photography business in the UK, and it has always kept me busy on the side.
Studying architecture at the University of Greenwich in London widened the perspective to the beauty of composition and the gentle power of light.
Today I offer my skills in the field of interior photography.
You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
