Emily Maye was born and raised in Southern California, her early life spent immersed in a ballet school owned by her mother. Surrounded continuously by music and movement, Emily’s passion for narrative evolved into an obsession with film. As a Photographer, Emily’s inquisitive eye looks to highlight an athlete’s humanity and the beauty in their discipline and strife that we so often overlook when focused on the finish line shot. Often going behind-the-scenes with athletes in their training and daily life, Emily is able to capture nuance and intimacy that isn’t often experienced in athletic photography. As a Director, Emily brings her expertise as a dancer and choreographer to the language of the camera. She doesn’t shy away from a chance to let an idea breathe on screen or to tell a powerful story in a well composed frame. She brings with her an uncommon ability to capture the romantic narratives not just imperative to sport, but to all human endeavor.
Emily currently lives between New York and Santa Barbara.
