HeyA!

I'm Maja Baska, a freelance photographer living on Darug and Gundungurra country of the Blue Mountains. I also work on Eora lands of Sydney and surrounds. With 19 years of industry experience and a Fine Arts background, I specialise in lighting and capturing portraits, headshots, food, and events.

I love working with clients from all creative disciplines and my goal is to help bring their vision to life. Whether we're brainstorming campaign concepts or scouting the perfect location, I'm there to support you every step of the way. I take pride in making even the most camera-shy individuals feel comfortable, so we can create high-quality images that truly reflect your brand.

Over the years, I've built strong relationships with a range of creative and corporate businesses, universities, schools, and Artists. Some of my valued clients include UNSW, The University of Sydney, Stockland, Creative Australia, NIDA, City of Sydney, MTNS MADE, and more.

Growing up with a documentary maker and photographer for parents, I developed an intuitive sense of light, color, space, and composition from a young age. Combining my fascination with the science of harnessing light and my understanding of people, I strive to create captivating visuals that go beyond the ordinary.

I love to talk about new projects and am open to travel. Let's chat about your photography needs and bring your creative vision to life. Reach out to me today.
