Maxine St. Louis is a Haitian-American photographer based in New York City whose work centers on storytelling, identity, and human connection. With over a decade of experience photographing people, her practice is rooted in creating an environment where individuals feel seen, comfortable, and authentically themselves.

Working across portraiture, editorial, and event photography, Maxine captures both intimate, quiet moments and the expressive energy of her subjects. Her approach is collaborative and intentional—guiding each session with care while allowing space for natural emotion and individuality to emerge. The result is imagery that feels both refined and deeply personal.

Maxine has participated in gallery showings and continues to expand her artistic voice through projects that explore self-perception, confidence, and transformation. Her work reflects a commitment to honoring the stories people carry, particularly those that are often unseen or unspoken.

Through her studio, MSTL Photography, she approaches photography as more than a visual medium—it is an experience. Her goal is to create work that not only captures a moment, but also affirms identity and fosters a sense of confidence and connection.
