Maja Smiejkowska is freelance photographer based in London, photographing news and features for editorial and commercial clients both nationally and internationally. She has been involved in visual arts since her early years, eventually completing her degree in BA (HONS) Photojournalism at University of the Arts London.

My friends and family would say that if you sliced me in half I would have photographer written through me like a stick of rock! Since I first picked up a camera aged 8 it’s been a life-long love of mine. I was lucky enough to grow up in Cornwall and would spend my weekends photographing the landscapes & people of my home county. It also meant that I was close to the prestigious Falmouth College of Arts where I achieved a BA Hons in Photography in 1999.
