SayHi

Portfolio

The work is the page.

Large stills, a title, a year, a sentence. Built for people whose proof is visual — and for developers whose proof is a repo with a real description.

Weather, concrete, and the people who wait in both

Photographer working between London and Lagos. Large-format landscapes, night streets, and the in-between weather that does not make the postcard.

London / Lagos

Selected work

Atlantic Edge

Cliffs at first light, fog still deciding whether to lift. Printed 30×40 on cotton rag. The path is real; I waited for a morning with no hikers.

Cast Concrete

A stairwell in Peckham that only works for twenty minutes a day, when the sun hits the mid-landing and the dust becomes a second architecture.

What a SayHi portfolio is not

It is not a theme with twelve case-study templates and a blog. It is not a PDF. It is a public page that can live at sayhi.page/maya and still look like the person who made the pictures.

Can a one-page portfolio be enough?

For most independent photographers, designers, and developers, yes. A stranger wants to see the work, a sentence about you, and a way to write. Extra pages can wait.

Do you host the images?

Demo images ship with the site. User uploads will go to Cloudflare R2 in a later phase. The profile schema already treats images as asset references, not as files baked into HTML.
