Imagine working with *angels*??? I grew up poring over VS magazines, cutting out photos of Adriana Lima 🌝❣️. Now I get to actually make some of those images? Sometimes I’m too ‘in it’ on set to realize but WTF 😌
What a privilege to be working with these women and for @victoriassecret no less — especially at a time when they’re helping lead the initiative to make fashion a safe space for and by Women— in front of and behind the lens, so a big thank you to @raulmartinez1024@david.sebbah@bryvrgs for that, y'all are changing the game. I’m on a plane rn so maybe this is altitude gush speaking but how the hell did I go from immigrating from Uzbekistan on political asylum - basically through dumb luck - to getting to do this? 😳
Thank you angels for trusting us enough to be vulnerable in front of the lens and talk LOVE, might look easy but — a lot is expected of them to always be *on* but also be vulnerable at the same time, it is not easy, so thank you, I am in awe of you!
Anyway, I still got a long way to go, hope I get some more angels along the way 🔥
(Happy Valentine's day if you like and susbcribe, your crush will text you in the next 5 minutes)

We’re excited to welcome Maya to the elevenforty family. A longtime friend and recent collaborator, Maya is a sharp and intuitive director whose work blends an irreverent directorial style with a deep understanding of human connection. Her creative vision is modern and attention-grabbing - brought to life through an innate sense of visual beauty.
On set, Maya’s calm, collaborative energy and pure talent bring out the best in everyone she works with. She creates an environment where ideas flow and performances shine, all while staying grounded and open. There’s a quiet confidence to her process - and a humility that belies just how gifted she truly is.
Having just wrapped our first project together, we’re beyond excited to have Maya on board, and can’t wait to see what we’ll create next 🤍
Explore more of Maya’s work on our website.
