About me

I’m Maria Swann, a creative photographer and visual storyteller, just starting out with a camera and a passion for seeing the world differently. Photography is more than a hobby — it is my love, my journey, and the way I share how I see light, shadow, and culture.

The Awakening Gaze

My path began with curiosity: a camera in hand, eyes wide open, and heart fully engaged. What started as a quiet refuge soon became a calling to capture beauty in forgotten places, silent textures, and fleeting moments.

I don’t claim to be a professional yet, but I take each photograph with care, intention, and love for the art itself. This space is not about selling — it is about sharing authentic visual stories.

Dreams and Inspirations

Dreams grow when you stay true to what moves you. One day, I hope to see my work exhibited alongside talented photographers at festivals such as Les Rencontres d’Arles in France, PhotoEspaña in Madrid, or Unseen Amsterdam. Until then, I’m building slowly, frame by frame, creating something meaningful and real.
