Maye Musk — celebrated model, author, and dietitian — has been a defining figure in the worlds of fashion and wellness for over five decades. Her striking beauty and poise have illuminated the covers of Time (Health Edition), Women’s Day, Vogue (International Editions), and even the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, marking her as one of the most enduring icons of contemporary culture.

At my New York studio, I had the distinct honor of photographing Maye Musk in a portrait inspired by the timeless techniques of the Old Masters — Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Titian, and Ribera. The session sought to channel the chiaroscuro light and emotional intensity of classical portraiture while celebrating Maye’s modern grace and intellectual depth.
