About us

Photographer/Filmmaker

Pleased to meet you. My name is Maria and I'm a photographer and a filmmaker.

I've always loved stories. Being a filmmaker is like being on a journey. Every photoshoot or filming is a door to a new world after which you are not the same. That’s one of the reasons I can’t get tired of working in visual arts. You never know what the day will bring.

My preferred style of photography is documentary, where I try to influence my subjects and the flow of events as little as possible. I let people be who they are and tell their story "in their own words". I'm there to capture the fleeting moments.

In film you get to tell a story stretched over time. It's the opposite of photography where time is compressed to a single image. Having the eye of a photographer and the soul of a storyteller defines me as a visual artist.

Usually I don't explain or describe my work much; I let the film or the pictures speak for themselves. I love the unanswered questions art poses! Too many words take away the power the work has on its own.

Finally, what I do love about being a visual artist? Capturing the authentic beauty of this world - and sharing it with you.
