The time has come!! On May 16, from 1-4P I will be exhibiting my self portraits for the very first time! One day only! Swipe for details >>> May 16, 2026 1-4P One Day Only. RSVP #LINKINBIO   ‘Feelings’ is a series of self-portraits that attempt to make the invisible visible. To take feelings that go unspoken, and give them shape, texture, and form.   The first public exhibition of Maya Guice’s self-portrait work, the photographs are an invitation to sit with feelings that often go undetected in daily life: freedom, fear, guilt, shame, ecstasy, confidence, jealousy, pain.   Like the emotions themselves, these images don’t aim to resolve. They represent the tension between how we present ourselves and what we protect; What we hold on to and what we need to let go. They’re about emotion in its raw, layered, and often contradictory forms — how it shapes us, hides in us, and aches to be seen, if only for a moment, as we transform.

I’ve been thinking a lot about America and was looking to create an image that could speak to the duality—the tension—between peace and progress. The white flag is not surrender, but an invitation, an offering — a call to something more. Wouldn’t you like to imagine a future worth running toward? Cool news! The first photo was recognized by @americanphotographicartists , winning second place in the Portraits category. Self portrait taken in LA in June, 2025; many many many thanks to @rachelpass for the assist! Shot at @visionstudiola ✨ #sonyportraits #selfportrait

I’m 35 years old today. And honestly? I feel 35. #selfportrait taken with the indispensable assist of @rachelpass ✨ Part of my ‘feelings’ series, most of which I’ve never shared…but will. I think. Who knows.

Happy 1st Birthday Elle 😍✨🥹 @miatofano x @everetteadamsiv Some of these were shot on film. Others were not.

For the latest episode of White Water, Maya went looking for a surfer. Instead, she found a guide ✨ This episode is about the people who find you in the current before you even know you’re lost. Maya sat down with Tommie-Waheed Evans — dancer, choreographer, 2021 Guggenheim Fellow, and co-artistic director of PHILADANCO!, and founder of waheedworks — a man whose path was shaped, at every turn, by the right guide showing up at the right time. Together, Maya and Tommie explore mentorship, identity, dance, creative legacy, and the quiet, radical act of showing up for someone else the way someone once showed up for you. Nobody gets there alone. This episode is proof. #linkinbio *Available on all podcast platforms

January and February on Film ✨🤍

So many beautiful shapes, only 20 slides 😍 I was truly inspired working on these photos of @marcella_thecosmicmirror ’s premier of ‘Spectacle of Ritual’ at the @odysseytheatre last weekend. I’ve known Marcella for 20(!)+ years. One of the best parts about getting older is watching your friends grow and evolve…It feels real full circle, to be able to collaborate with her at this stage. What can I say? I’m honored! 🥹💫 Go see some dance!!

MARCELLA ✨ In practice. In process. It felt a little too good to be back in the studio 🤍 I absolutely loved floating around @marcella_thecosmicmirror ‘s rehearsals for this weekend’s premier of her newest work. Don’t miss this!

The next episode of White Water is out, this time Maya talks to bestselling author, trend forecaster, and the Founder and CEO of the World Experience Organization: James Wallman!! 💫 If you think building something like the @worldxo_org is a straight line from idea → success, this conversation will gently (and lovingly) disabuse you of that notion. James is one of those rare people who doesn’t just talk about his ideas—he builds them. As the founder of the #WXO, he’s spent years making a simple but radical case: that we are moving from materialism to experientialism, toward a world where experiences, more than things, shape our culture, our economy, and our sense of what’s possible. They discuss: ⇢ Leaping before the landing is clear (in business and in life). ⇢ The non-linear reality of building something that lasts—and the emotional endurance required to stay with an idea over time.  ⇢ Knowing when to listen to your audience and when to push back, understanding that your vision simply isn’t meant for everyone. ⇢ The reality of community-building as a business practice: the patience it demands and the responsibility it carries. Listen in as Maya talks to James about #WhiteWater at scale—the uncertain, unglamorous middle where vision outruns the map, community is forged slowly, and meaningful change only happens if you’re willing to keep going without guarantees. 💫 Listen now: Link in Bio !! *Available everywhere you get podcasts #podcast #creativeventure #globalcommunity
