Welcome to Dennis Maida Photography

It all started in 2008 while I was stationed in New Orleans with the military. The first time I picked up a camera, I felt an instant connection, as if I had discovered a missing piece of myself. Photography became more than just a creative outlet—it became my purpose.

Over a decade later, photography remains a vital part of my life, especially after being diagnosed with PTSD. Through the lens, I’ve found a sense of calm and clarity that helps me navigate life’s complexities. Each photograph tells a story about the subject and the moments that brought me peace and perspective.

In addition to the works showcased here, I am proud to invite you to visit The Covert Collection, my art gallery in Boonton, NJ. You'll find an eclectic mix of my photography and works by other talented artists, curated to inspire and captivate.

Thank you for exploring my website and taking an interest in my images. All non-portrait photographs are available for purchase directly through me. If one resonates with you, please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss pricing and details.

Warm regards,

Dennis
