White Mosaic Photography is me, Maja Villarroel. I am a passionate outdoor and natural light lifestyle photographer in Ottawa, Canada. My photo service is personalized and includes photo book design and publishing.

White Mosaic has been an evolving photography project for more than 25 years.  My mom taught me the basics of photography when I was young, and I have been fascinated with the craft ever since. I have taken many related courses and workshops in high school, university, and beyond, but I have learned most while out taking photos (almost every day) and exploring how light plays with what we see around us. I originally learned with film cameras and darkroom chemicals, but I have embraced - reluctantly at first - the freedom and creativity afforded to the photographer by the digital revolution. I am always on the look out to capture a few fleeting moments of light's beauty reflecting the world around us. I especially love to photograph children's smiles, parents' pride, and lovers' affection in a natural environment.

The White Mosaic name comes from the fact that natural white light is a mosaic of colours with different wavelengths.  Every time I take photos, my camera captures a mosaic of moments which I turn into a photo mosaic, the photo book.
