maya naidu

As a photographer, my objective is to capture fragments of everyday life in both the foreign and familiar. I create images about connection, invoking feelings of nostalgia and curiosity. 

With a keen interest for visual storytelling, my focus is to document my subjects in their most authentic sense and create narratives through imagery. Stimulated by the use of light, colour, shadow and texture to elevate the ordinary and emphasize a sense of place. 

Working in the documentary and editorial field of photography, focusing on travel, lifestyle, food and design, my work shares the stories of the variety of cultures and lifestyles I encounter.
