The studio
Pictures are memory you can hold
VOSS is a photography studio in Makati City, led by Mara Voss. Small team, slow process, honest images.
Mara picked up her first camera in 2014, on a trip she almost did not take. Two years later, VOSS opened its doors in Legazpi Village.
Since then the studio has shot more than 300 projects: quiet family portraits, loud fashion campaigns, and long travel stories that took months to finish. The tools change every year. The approach does not. Show up early, listen well, and wait for the light.
Clients include Lumen Magazine, Novare Group, Kaya Sportswear, Selvedge Co. and Urban Field Notes. Between commissions, Mara teaches a small darkroom class and keeps a personal archive of street work.

The shoot
We arrive early and keep the set calm. You see selects on the day, so nothing is a mystery.
