Maya Spangler is a Los Angeles-based photographer. Whether she’s shooting behind the scenes at a Sandy Liang show or capturing a girl in her bedroom, her photos are dreamy, haunting, and instantly recognizable — which, in the noise of the algorithm, is hard to achieve. For the past few years, she’s shared her work under the handles stolenbesos on Instagram and coldstonedreamery on Tumblr, and has had work featured in publications like Interview, Purple, Vogue, and Dazed. Last month, she released her debut book, Stolen Besos, published by Enter Bliss with an introduction by Richard Kern. The launch was accompanied by a solo show at Sade Gallery in Los Angeles. She's also been working on a zine in collaboration with Fucking Awesome (check it out here). Lucky for us, Maya’s here to tell us what she’s been into.
