MAYA MATULESSY | Utrecht

Without any experience I started photography because my father told me that I have an eye for things. I understood the skill of telling with no words and  was trying to create with no clear sight. I started to photograph my family, architecture, nature and food. In this safe haven (my family) where motivation comes with love and harsh jokes, I shaped my sight. After having studied interior consultancy in Utrecht (NL), I explored my color and design intuition combined with photography. I look for character, contrast, shapes, the use of colors and movement. My work has developed more towards a documentary style. I look for ways to translate the real character of the moment without deforming them from who they are.

“Sometimes to translate the character into a photo, you have to fine-tune the moment. When I translate this visual story,
I'll never disconnect them from
the real.
