Maya Noyman

philosophy

"what makes us special makes us strong" - shrek

Maya has a strong belief in photography that sees you — not just your surface, but your presence. A big part of her story is that she's neurodivergent. She doesn't intend for it to be her headline, but it shapes how she experiences the world, and in turn, how she photographs.


Maya has often felt misunderstood, different, and sometimes isolated. But those experiences have sharpened her sensitivity: she notices details, emotions, and nuances that make her work personal and celebrate the uniqueness of every client.

Placing a strong emphasis on respecting boundaries and observing body language, Maya uses communication at the forefront of her approach to ensure her clients feel their best. The goal is a collaboration process of creating an environment that encourages confidence and comfort.

"You said you had a vision but nothing could have prepared me for this.  I also have to say a massive thank you for capturing this moment with my best friend, she absolutely hates hugs so I rarely get them"

Great communication and preparation prior to the show. Had some great creative direction for backstage shots and covered so many different angles of the venue with ease!

"In my own experience, Maya has displayed a deep passion for what she does. Determined to go above and beyond in providing quality pictures and manages to capture beautiful moments of other performers.  Maya's hard work and gentle spirit make her a brilliant photographer."

Jade - the pearlies band

I literally had no idea what I was in for when I asked Maya to take some photos at my gig. I have to preface by saying I hate ALL photos of me usually... I loved each and every one of these... this talented, visionary young photographer has an eye and a tenderness that i have not encountered before... thank you for the best photos ever, you are simply a joy to work with...
