Maya Seaman, San Diego-based food and beverage photographer and writer.

Maya Seaman Creative is a one-woman content-creation operation based in San Diego, CA providing food, beverage, and product photography to support your business’ marketing efforts. (Which is a fancy way of saying I like to tell stories and take pretty pictures to help you sell things.)

I photograph food and beverages, bars and restaurants, industry events, and candid patron shenanigans. I also maintain a small studio in North County San Diego for product photography, recipe recreation, and beverage glamour shots. Additionally, I write magazine articles, blog content, and copy for social media, websites, and newsletters.
