Today we’d like to introduce you to Maia Lor.
Hi Maia, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I truly got started when I was stuck in recording studios all day, documenting my best friend’s (@realisticproductions) journey through pictures and videos. When people started to see how great his Instagram profile was becoming, he told me I should really start considering photography as a career because I have a natural eye. So I did! Through the years, I went to college for Music Business, which is where I gained graphic design and website design skillsets. I got to where I am today through educating myself in my field, working hard to excel my talent, and networking. When they say your network is your net worth, it truly is.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Building your own business is not easy. You have to find your own clients, decide on price point and brand marketing strategy, handle accounting, find time to actually work on the product/service you want to sell, etc. On a personal level, it’s not easy managing your self-doubts and wondering if you’re skilled enough to make it. I overcame it by feeding my mindset every day with personal development talks from Tom Bilyeu, Gary Vee, and Brendon Buchard. Over the years, I’ve built a morning routine to recollect my energy every day so I can give it to people later on. Mindset is key!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I specialize in portraits, which include Creatives, artists, brand photoshoots, group pictures, surrealism/fantasy, and more. Also, events, commercial work, and graphic designs. I am most proud of being able to work with big brands such as Auto-tune and iZotope, but most of all my perseverance through really difficult times. What sets me apart from others is being able to bring others’ visions to life as a team and through empathy.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
If you are interested in working with me and would love to collab, please email me. When it comes to supporting, I’d love if you comment, like, and share my work that way others like you can find people like me to help you out– with the tips and tricks I provide and productivity. It’s nice to know I’m bringing value to your daily life so I can continue to make content that is beneficial to people like you.
