MAPS brings together photographers and creatives to make remarkable projects traversing the quotidian world.

At our core are collective projects that inspire a greater consciousness, that serve general interest, knowledge and awareness.

Our structure is a creative laboratory combining the assets of a photo agency and the strengths of a collective. We value a variety of photographic vocabularies in our pursuit of multi- and interdisciplinary projects.

Who are we?
