I’m Mariam, a self-taught photographer and creative based in Los Angeles.
I’ve been drawn to photography since I was a kid, always trying to notice something interesting in ordinary places, people, light, and small moments.
For years, I worked in design and marketing, but eventually I came back to the thing I loved most: photography, creating, and sharing the way I see the world.
This book came from that return. It’s a collection of photographs and thoughts about creativity, change, noticing more, and finding your way back to the parts of yourself you may have left behind.
