Maya Seaman Creative is a one-woman content-creation operation based in San Diego, CA providing food, beverage, and product photography that makes your business stand out.
With over 10 years of experience in the tourism-magazine industry, my work goes beyond showcasing a dish or drink—it tells a story and entices would-be consumers. I specialize in creating tantalizing point-of-view scenes that puts your product within a customer’s reach, teasing them with rich textures, bold colors, mouthwatering details, and authentic ambiance.
These elements are key when advertising in a tourist-heavy city like San Diego. To win visitors and guests, I take photos that highlight your business’ personality in a way that ignites the imagination, reflects your unique energy and style, and maybe sparks a touch of FOMO…
For off-site work, I maintain a small photo studio in my home for product photography, food and cocktail recipe recreation, and editorial imagery. Please check out some of my work below, and feel free to reach out with any questions!
