Maya Fuhr

Location: Los Angeles

Clients: Coach, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Mcdonalds, Pepsi, Sephora, Converse

Maya Fuhr is an award-winning Canadian artist based in Los Angeles. Her images and world-building installations interrogate the role of iconography in photography and consumer culture through the construction of identity. Across her work, whether she’s creating white-cube installations or shooting playful campaigns, her layered images oscillate the tension between concealing and unveiling, inviting her audiences to peel back an image’s layers to explore what lingers beneath its surface.

Her editorial work is featured in Fader, Intersection, High Snobiety, and Numero Berlin, and notable clients include Coach, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, McDonald’s, Pepsi, Sephora, and Converse. She has exhibited worldwide in galleries such as Patel Brown, SADE, and Arsenal Contemporary.

Her forthcoming exhibition and book, "Sole Parts" will be published and exhibited at Capture Photography Festival at Equinox Gallery in Vancouver.

InstituteTM (collectively Institute Pictures, Institute Studios, & Institute Artist) is redefining how stories are produced and told in the 21st Century. Founded by Producer Frank Evers and Director/Visual Artist Lauren Greenfield, we are a multiplatform production company representing auteur-driven storytellers across commercials, photography, fine art, film, and technology — and producing original work across every screen that those stories live on. Our multiplatform expertise and established global relationships in entertainment, commercial, fine art, and journalism create unmatched reach and cross-pollination of creative work. A film commission informs a photography campaign; a fine art practice shapes a commercial; an editorial relationship opens a documentary. Few companies operate fluently across all of these worlds. Institute was built this way from the ground up.

Clients include: Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft/Xbox, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Nike, Adidas, Lululemon, Under Armour, Dove, Maybelline, Clinique, Ulta Beauty, Aesop, Vaseline, LEGO, Balenciaga, Dior, Tom Ford, Kenzo, Supreme, Van Cleef & Arpels, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Toyota, McLaren, Pennzoil, American Express, Chase, U.S. Bank, Burger King, Chobani, Corona, Pepsi, Nespresso, Lavazza, Velveeta, Airbnb, Four Seasons, Marriott, Instacart, eBay, JCPenney, Levi's, Swatch, Bang & Olufsen, Bayer, Pfizer, Genentech, EA, Planned Parenthood, Ad Council, and the United Nations. Editorial and publishing partners include: The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, GQ, Esquire, TIME, Bloomberg, National Geographic, The Economist, Monocle, Le Monde, Stern, Sunday Times Magazine, Phaidon, Steidl, Abrams, Prestel, Chronicle, and Random House.
