From Maisie
Over the years, I’ve been so inspired by the incredible community of female photographers here in Dubai. The talent, the kindness, the support. We’re so lucky to have each other.
When I first started shooting families in Dubai, I learnt everything from the ground up. I poured so much time, energy, and heart into my growth, investing in courses, workshops, and my own education - and it has paid itself back over and over again.
I love my business, I love my clients, and I love that I built that from scratch.
Her Lens was created to help other women do the same. To grow with confidence, refine their craft, and build businesses that feel aligned, purposeful, and sustainable.
A sisterhood for women behind the camera - balancing story and strategy, art and ambition, heart and business.
It’s not about competition, it’s about evolution - helping each other rise, step by step, story by story.
I can’t wait to see what we create together.
