citylikeyou — Los Angeles / Mia Haggi

Photographer Mia Haggi is a seasoned global nomad, moving through countries with the ease of someone who, as a former model, changes outfits. Originally from Tallinn, Estonia, Mia attended art school to study fashion design and photography before pursuing a modelling career — a step that allowed her to traipse around the world and lead her back, eventually, to photography. Heavily inspired by dreams, darkness and fantasies, the photographer expertly weaves narratives into her imagery, getting close enough to her subjects to decrypt the intensity in their expressions and the vulnerability of their posture. Her unforgettable work leaves a lasting impression on her audience, leading to collaborations with brands like Nike, Adidas, Lulu Lemon, Lane Crawford and more, as well as numerous exhibitions and features worldwide. While it’s hard to pin down her exact location, her Instagram hints that she’s currently bouncing between Bangkok, Lisbon and Hong Kong … Words by Kala Barba-Court
