She is currently working with a team of filmmakers as a stills photographer and exhibit producer for gallery show accompanying a feature film named Dream with Me (http://www.dreamwithme.org/) about our country's public education crisis.

Before moving to Los Angeles in early 2006, Maya spent five years in New York City photographing weddings and as a technician and in-house photographer for the fashion industry’s premier Photo Retoucher, Pascal Dangin. The experience of living in New York City provided a diverse palette of subject matter that allowed for Maya’s photographic interests in photojournalism and documentary commentary to mature. The photographic opportunities she uncovered inform and define Maya’s images today. Maya received her BFA with concentration in photography from Alfred University in 2000 and continued her studies at the International Center for Photography in New York City, and at The Julia Dean Workshops in Venice, CA.
