Maha Bazzari is an architectural photographer, multidisciplinary artist, designer, and educator whose work is rooted in a longstanding relationship with architecture and the built environment. She studied architectural design in the Bay Area and began her career working at MacCracken Architects and HOK in San Francisco before moving to San Diego and joining Carrier Johnson + Culture.
That foundation continues to shape the way she sees and photographs architecture. Rather than approaching a space only as an image, Maha brings a design-trained perspective to how architecture is composed and experienced. Her eye is attuned to angle, light, materiality, proportion, and spatial flow, allowing her to capture the built environment with both technical understanding and artistic sensitivity.
In 2008, she founded studio MAHA, where she built a practice spanning architectural photography, portraiture, visual art, and commissioned creative work. Over time, her studio has grown into an interdisciplinary platform that reflects both her design background and her evolving fine art practice in photography, painting, and sculpture. She also continues to collaborate on architectural design projects with Stephen Strugala Design in Southern California.
Recent highlights include work featured in Space Maker at the La Jolla Historical Society, a permanent photographic collection for Sharp Healthcare’s healing environments, and work featured on the cover of San Diego Magazine and in a six-page photo essay exploring her relationship with San Diego architecture.
