AUTHENTIC VISUAL STORYTELLING

AUTHENTIC VISUAL STORYTELLING

Photography, for me, is a way of telling storiesβ€”honest, human, and deeply felt. Whether I’m working with individuals, brands, or documenting moments in motion, my approach is intuitive and grounded in connection. Each session is an opportunity to create images that not only look beautiful, but feel true to who you are.
All sessions are available at Maya Shanti Studio or on location.

PRACTICAL YOGA JOURNEY

A personal guide to building a consistent and intuitive yoga practice.
Created from my own experience of movement, discipline, and self-discovery.

Hi, I’m Maya

Photographer based in Belgrade, Serbia. I create documentary-inspired portraits for travelers, individuals, creatives, athletes and wellness professionals who value authentic, story-driven photography.

My approach blends portrait, lifestyle, and documentary photography to create natural, expressive images that feel genuine and timeless. Whether we're exploring Belgrade's hidden streets, photographing your yoga practice, documenting an event, or creating visuals for your personal brand, my goal is always the sameβ€”to tell your story in an creative and meaningful way.

If you feel a connection with my work, I'd love to hear your story and create something meaningful together.
