Maria Bruun is a Danish photographer and director.

From an early age she was a passionate dancer which was an outlet for her imagination and creativity.

She began her career in 2009 following her graduation from the esteemed Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.

After a 10 year profession as a modern dancer and choreographer Maria developed a love for photography and became fascinated with the marriage of movement, story telling, lighting and dynamism in a photograph.
