From shooting in her backyard to Emmy parties at Club Nokia Live, 18 year old Aditi Mayer has been pursuing her passion for photography from a young age; this past summer, however, she has dove deeper into her new found passion of having her work aid a higher purpose.
As a featured artist within the October Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk, Aditi held a solo show exhibit after winning the Lifestyle Photography Contest in September. She utilized her platform to fundraise for organizations that she is passionate about. For her exhibit, she donated 50% of proceeds towards an organization called Maiti Nepal: a non-profit indebted to helping women in India/Nepal break free from the sex trade.
She also began her own blog this past summer; without clear prospects of where it would go, Aditi had only the vague understanding that she wanted the blog to serve simply as a creative space to post her photography and perhaps fashion.
Within a few short months, she has driven the blog in a direction which actively collaborates with social enterprises and non-profit clothing brands with philanthropic missions ranging from the eradication of human trafficking, aiding war veterans, to providing education to youth across the globe.
