We had the good fortune of connecting with Mayra Roubach and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mayra, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
​In 2009 when I moved to Miami, I was coming from London without a job, but with new life goals in mind: grow my family/have kids, build a new career and be my own boss. That’s when I decided to pursue photography as a professional job. I dedicated my first years to attending workshops, hands-on courses, completing certifications, and working on finding my style and voice within my new craft. It took me a while to fully commit to this transformation, but I never lost track of my goals. Now, after 10 years in business, I know I did the right thing, and I’m a proud professional photographer living in Miami.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a professional Interiors & Lifestyle photographer based in Miami, FL. I’m a visual storyteller. Photography is my passion. I believe creativity and collaboration are essential to creating beautiful, meaningful imagery for my clients. I feel honored to be able to photograph their amazing projects and to be able to create awesome content for their brands. Over the years, I have found that my niche is a constant blend of artfully designed spaces with beautiful portraits of people. And I’m lucky to have our beautiful city of Miami as my background.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
When I have friends in town and the weather is great, we certainly enjoy the beach in Key Biscayne. Then we might go for lunch at Zuma in Brickell. Then we would stroll at the Brickell City Center and enjoy ourselves. Another great thing to do is to watch the sunset at the South Pointe Park in South Beach and have a drink at Smith & Wollensky. I also love going to the PAMM museum and the Artech House.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’m very thankful for the artists, photographers, and all photography industry professionals who constantly share their knowledge and passion for our craft. I am inspired by so many of the Magnum, PPA, and ASMP photographers. But here are a few ones that I personally had the honor to learn from: Seth Resnick (thank you for helping me organize my workflow and thoughts during my early years), Adam Stoltman (thank you for showing me there are more subtleties in photography than one can imagine), Mary Ellen Mark (you told me it’s ok to embrace the idea that life is beautiful), Sven Creutzman (our trips to Cuba and Brazil changed my life)’ Sue Bryce (thank you for your passion and all your teachings)
