In Episode 2 of Beyond The Pose, we’re joined by a woman who blends presence with humility and artistry with intention—Maya Nichole, a rising creative force whose journey into modeling didn’t begin with the runway but with the need to visually express her music.

She didn’t chase the camera—it found her.

“ Modelling is just something that happened as a result of being an artiste and needing the branding with photos and videos.”

— Maya

The Accidental Muse

As Maya shares in the episode, her journey into modeling wasn’t planned. In fact, it began out of necessity—shooting album covers and visuals for her music. But what started as a utility quickly evolved into a deep, expressive art form that she now calls a second language.

“Modeling gave me another way to tell my story. It’s silent—but it still speaks.”

— Maya

It’s in front of the camera that Maya discovered a new kind of stillness—one that allows emotion, tone, and self-expression to rise without saying a word. It became less about striking poses and more about showing pieces of herself.

Beauty in Humility

Despite her growing presence in fashion and entertainment, Maya’s groundedness is undeniable. She speaks with a sense of awareness—grateful, yet intentional.

She opens up about the vulnerability that modeling demands, and the humility required to continuously learn, improve, and collaborate with other creatives. There’s no ego here—just a woman who understands the beauty of evolution.

“I try not to see myself as anything when I perform so that I dont get in the way of myself”

— Maya

Modeling With Meaning

What sets Maya apart isn’t just her look, but the meaning she brings into every frame. Her photos aren’t about perfection—they’re about presence. And her process isn’t about performance—it’s about being.

In this episode, we capture Maya in a light that’s equal parts fierce and gentle. Her movements feel intuitive. Her presence, unforced. She carries an energy that invites reflection, and it shows in every still.
