“An image is captured well when I can feel the cohesiveness within the photograph.” -Maria Orrego

Maria Orrego is a Miami-based photographer with over ten years of experience in capturing the art of expression. Through a blend of self-teaching and formal training, she has developed a unique approach to photography, one that emphasizes connection, authenticity, and creativity.

Maria is passionate about helping individuals and content creators tell their stories through imagery. For her, photography goes beyond creating a “perfect” image; it’s about establishing a natural flow between her subject and herself, allowing the camera to capture the essence of a moment. She believes that a photograph should resonate deeply, letting the soul of the image speak for itself.

As an artist, Maria’s practice is constantly evolving. She continues to learn and draw inspiration from the world around her, exploring new perspectives and places as she travels.
