About the Author
Selina Maitreya has been an
international consultant, teacher,
and guide to creative talent for
the last twenty-seven years. She is,
at her core, a vision driver—a
steering force who believes in
approaching each client with
respect for his or her unique
individuality. A proponent of
taking responsibility for one’s
life, her vested interests lie in the
“who you are” as opposed to “what you do.” Selina’s mastery as a
consultant stems from her appreciation for both of these inter-
pretations of the human/creative enterprise and her ability to
strike an equilibrium between them for her clients.
Selina became involved in photography at the age of twenty-
one when she attended the New England School of Photography.
Shortly thereafter she represented Boston photographers nation-
ally and then moved into the consulting realm, becoming one of
the first photography consultants in the country. Her best-selling
book, Portfolios That Sell(Amphoto Books), was published in 2003
to wide acclaim.
Selina’s spiritual journey began when she was fourteen, long
before her introduction to photography. Twenty-eight years later,
and through her consulting practice, Selina was introduced to
her current spiritual teacher, Janice Hope Gorman.
As Selina pursues her lifelong careers as both teacher and
student, she brings significant industry knowledge and a deep
spiritual perspective to the photographic community. How To
Succeed in Commercial Photography: Insights From A Leading

ence, heartfully wrapped in a blanket of spirit. Selina can be
