MAIKA ELAN
Maika, a Vietnamese photographer, discovered her passion for photography after studying sociology at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Since 2006, she has been capturing daily life using various cameras and began collaborating with editorial clients and fashion firms in Vietnam.
In an age where digital cameras provide more room for trial-and-error, practicality, and perfection, Maika chooses to find beauty in the imperfections with the unique style of Lomography, documenting a moment of today through a lens of yesterday. Seeing the “intangible” and the beauty of the invisible, she is an old-soul thriving within the fast and digital, a photographer explores the hidden world of the hikikomori, and the human bonds that draw them out.
PHOTOGRAPHY
It contributes to a natural flow that helps society become more balanced when there are people who dare ignore all the rules and instead live up to their personal preferences.
WHEN PERFUME MEETS ART — CHAPTER 2: SEE THE INTANGIBLE
Both photography and perfumery have been subjects of debate since they were invented, with many viewing them as mere scientific and chemical developments. It was many centuries later that they began to be seen as a synergy of art and science, combining imagination and thought-provoking results. Crafted by two world-famous perfumers, Mark Buxton and David Chieze, the latest duo of Jillian, INTANGIBLE and FALL IN LUST, represents the highest forms of olfactory art. Documenting the journey of following their scent trail all over Europe, Maika opens us up to a whole new world, where the invisibles are visible. The intangible can be seen. The memories, people, and scenery once engraved in the perfumes are now intertwined with the hidden world through Maika’s lens.
