About
I’m Mailen Jonelle, a Cuban-Colombian photographer & visual storyteller.
Born in Miami, raised in New Jersey, and now based in California, my upbringing has shaped how I see the world and inspired me to create Through Mai Lens: a space to document, celebrate, and amplify the beauty of culture.
Through Mai Lens started as something personal, my own way of connecting with my roots but over time, it’s grown into a space to celebrate culture in all its forms — the stories, art, and everyday moments that make us who we are.
Through my lens, I hope to create images that make people feel seen, understood, and inspired.
