The Hox Gallery presents: WORLWIDE II

Raia Maria-Laura, known as RAIA, began her photography career at the age of 19. However, she had started taking photos at 15 and never stopped. She eventually dropped out of university after a couple months to pursue her passion in the ‘real world’.

In 2016, she began attending fashion weeks and shooting outside the shows, gaining recognition for her iconic shots of Naomi Campbell, Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Usher, and many others.

Raia soon discovered her passion for music photography, capturing some of the bigger names in her hometown of Brussels, Belgium.

In 2018, RAIA started working as Russʼs personal photographer and has been touring with him ever since, covering two world tours and several U.S. tours.

In 2021, she released her first photo book, Worldwide, which became a success. The book reflects on the beginning of her career, from fashion weeks to her early collaborations with artists, including her work with Russ. It’s filled with motivational quotes that tell the story of her journey.

In 2022, she released another photo book with Russ. Since then, she has set her sights on even bigger achievements, collaborating with incredible artists. Raia has toured with Lolo Zouaï, IAMDDB, Hamza, Dikke, Cho, and Lil Kleine, and sheʼs worked with Louis Vuitton twice on their Beyond Music project.

Raia is unstoppable and continues to push boundaries, ensuring that the world can experience her art.
