I began pursuing photography as a hobby. I took photos of lighthouses, trees, architecture, landscapes and, of course, skylines with car streaks. At that time, I never imagined that one day photography would become my career. In 1998, I earned my degree in Commercial Photography from the Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology in Dayton, Ohio. I then moved to Chicago where I thought I could land a job right away. Not quite!
Working your way up is always a humbling experience, but it turned out it was also a great way to learn the business. Sometimes "photography" actually means mopping or vacuuming floors, carrying heavy cases, burning your fingers on hot bulbs, and running around to labs. But - finally - I got a big break: an opportunity to work with one of the most prestigious architectural photography firms, Hedrich Blessing Photographers. This is where I learned my craft.

Based in Monaco, award-winning photographer Maja Kerin crafts evocative works that reach beyond the visible, revealing the subtle, mystical threads that connect all of life. Renowned for her distinctive 'painting photography' style, her imagery moves beyond documentation, becoming contemplative explorations in colour, light, and form - each designed to stir emotion and awaken the spirit.

Drawing inspiration from the quiet wisdom of nature and the hidden poetry of urban spaces, Maja approaches each subject as a spiritual encounter. Her lens becomes a conduit between the seen and the unseen, capturing the subtle energies, rhythms, and harmonies that dwell beneath the surface of ordinary life.
