From our early days, we’ve believed that every person, every place, and every moment deserves to be seen with clarity, emotion, and authenticity. Whether it’s the blinding sunlight over turquoise lagoons, the glow of sunset on the rooftops of Malé, or the myriad expressions of people as they celebrate, Digital Studio Maldives aims to hold all of these in frame. Over time, our work has expanded beyond simple portraits or snapshots — to lifestyle photojournalism, fine art storytelling, editorial shoots, events, commercial work, and entrepreneurial collaborations.
Our lead photographer, known publicly as ShafyMV, has earned national recognition, including awards, for work that balances aesthetic quality with genuine narrative. He combines the technical skill of modern photography — lighting, composition, editing — with a deep respect for subject and context. Our mission isn’t merely to create beautiful images, but to forge connections: between the subject and the viewer, between memory and feeling, between what is seen and what is imagined.
Personal, family, creative portraits that reflect individuality.
Capturing everyday life, culture, and the rituals that give the Maldives its soul.
Working with brands, businesses, magazines, and tourism to create visuals that communicate, inspire, and sell.
Weddings, parties, gatherings, moments that matter deserve to be remembered.
Exploring light, texture, and mood; pushing boundaries of what “photography” can mean
Showcasing the Maldives’ breathtaking islands, resorts, and experiences for both personal memories and promotional campaigns
We believe in seeing before we shoot. In listening first, observing detail, understanding light, environment, and mood. Our approach is collaborative: we partner with clients to understand their story, their vision, and the feelings they want to evoke. We respect the power of imagery to transport, to move, and to preserve. With every shoot, we aim to produce work that lasts — not just technically, but emotionally.
