Hello! 

I’m Mariailona — an NYC based still life stylist with a deep love for composition, texture, and the quiet power of objects well-placed.

With years of experience in food, beauty, and product styling, I bring a thoughtful, intuitive approach to every set. Whether it's a single lipstick, a plate of figs, or a curated flat lay of fragrance and foliage, I specialize in creating striking visuals that feel elevated yet effortless.  Additionally, my work has been featured in publications worldwide, such as VOGUE Italia, Imirage Magazine, Salyse Magazine, & Smith & Gale Magazine. In 2020 a personal still life project won 1st Classified Siena Award Creative Photo Award 2020.

My background spans editorial, advertising, and social campaigns, and I’m known for my ability to problem-solve under pressure, collaborate with ease, and bring calm clarity to fast-paced shoots. I value preparation and precision, but I also know when to loosen the grip and follow instinct — because sometimes, that’s where the magic happens.

Clients come to me not just for the final image, but for the full experience: a shoot that’s well-paced, well-prepped, and creatively fulfilling from start to finish.

Let’s make something beautiful!
