Maya Seaman Creative is a one-woman content-creation operation based in San Diego, CA providing food, beverage, and product photography to make your business stand out, (which is a fancy way of saying,“I like to tell stories with pretty pictures to help you sell things”).
With over 10 years of experience in the tourism-magazine industry, my work goes beyond showcasing a dish or drink—it tells a story. When capturing a restaurant’s ambiance, the artistry behind a cocktail, or the myriad ways in which your product reigns supreme, my goal is to make the subject of every image enticing and irresistible to your audience.
My visually striking food and beverage photography engages the senses and draws people in because I specialize in creating tantalizing, point-of-view scenes that mimic the customer experience. Authenticity and ambience are key when advertising to potential visitors in a tourism-heavy city like San Diego, so I pride myself on taking photos that mirror a business’ personality in a way that ignites the imagination and genuinely reflects its energy and unique style.
I also maintain a small photo studio in my home for product photography, food and cocktail recipe recreation, and editorial imagery. Additionally, I write magazine articles, blog content, and copy for social media, websites, and newsletters.
