maya naidu

Based in Montreal, I’m a photographer drawn to capturing fragments of everyday life—both the foreign and the familiar. My work centers on connection, evoking nostalgia and curiosity through thoughtful observation.

​

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. 

​

I work primarily in documentary and editorial photography, focusing on travel, lifestyle, food, and design, sharing the stories of the cultures and communities I encounter.
