I'm Issa Maaz, a photographer and graphic designer based in Beirut, working with clients and agencies across Europe and the Middle East. My foundation is photography — I hold generative AI to the same standard.
My experience managing international business operations and complex projects taught me a vital lesson: professional results are not just a product of talent, but of discipline and a structured commitment to growth. I treat my creative practice with the same rigor I applied to my entrepreneurial ventures, ensuring that every project is backed by reliability and a high technical standard.
I am currently exploring the potential of generative AI to expand the traditional boundaries of high-fidelity photography. My goal is to master these tools to prove that world-class visual storytelling can be engineered from anywhere, regardless of geographical or technical limitations. For me, this is not just about creating images — it's about building a modern, technical foundation for my career as a visual professional.
Alongside my studio work, I founded and direct The Private Closet, a curated e-commerce platform, since 2022 — overseeing brand identity, UI/UX, and end-to-end product cycles. Before that, I spent two years managing business relations and logistics for over 200 international clients at Avito.ru, maintaining a 4.9/5 reputation. That combination of creative execution and real operating experience is what I bring to every campaign.
I'm always open to conversations with agencies and brands looking for a creative partner who can own a project from concept through delivery.
