About Shameless Maya
"What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?" My channel started out as a social media experiment and now it's a lifestyle. I hope my journey from shame to shameless inspires you and others to not be ashamed of who you are and to share and celebrate that shamelessly. Here on my channel, you'll find videos on lifestyle, inspiration, fun transformations, techie vids for aspiring geeks, beauty, fashion, and so much more.

Another good back drop idea is to use table covers from the dollar tree or 99 cents store! I got some really cute pink and blue polka dots table covers from there and I also have my own "homemade greenscreen" which is a green table cover and it works! It was only $1! So affordable! Love the tips tho! I really want to have photoshoots with different colored walls! I might get some back drops now! 😄

[@KylaLaird]

Omg great idea! I will be stopping by the dollar store today! Haha ...thanks

[@FLIHeritage]

[@send2sunshine]

I can't thank you enough for this video! I have been searching and searching for tutorials on how to set up video. Every tutorial I found either included really expensive equipment or they left out half the information I needed. I was really about to give up until I found your videos. They are so informative and answered every question I had. Finding your videos made my day! Thank you!!!!

[@YesGodWellness]

Thank you sooo much for putting all these video's together. Decided it's time to really jump in, I've been watching you for years, thank you for being dedicated and consistent to yourself and showing us the ropes as a result!

[@naomimercieca1591]

Crazy how creative you can be with just about anything you find and not spend that much money to do so 👌🏾 this is very inspiring

[@lingywashere]

Thanks for sharing Maya! When I began filming I used gift wrapping paper and just through it out of focus by sitting far away like you said. It works amazing for those who are on a budget 👌🏾 thanks again Maya. 🤗

[@lingywashere]

Threw* 😊

[@JessicaRene]

[@CyndyChimezie]

[@VanessaLisette]

Love this thank you!! I was almost about to buy pvc pipes to make a backdrop but you rolling up the back drops from the ground to the ceiling was a game changer for me!

[@monib3794]

I've always wanted to know youtubers did their backgrounds! This was so informative. I feel like I've learned a lot of new tricks and hacks on getting the perfect background! Thank you so much!!!!!!

[@TheDonDIVA]

[@essenceofabelle]

Maya you are an angel! I've been a KZbinr for a few years now, and I still find myself being dumbfounded by your "Tech Talk" videos. You're amazing.

[@shamelessmaya]

Just out here schoolin 😂 thanks boo

[@TaYaSunaz]

This was super helpful and informative! Thank you Maya...One thing I love about you is that you are always offering useful tips and advice to other youtubers who wants to to achieve the same dreams and goals as you..some big youtubers can be "super secretive" about their editing/filming because they think it's their secret recipe to success or something.

[@itzjustkay1972]

👏👏👏

[@ricardo6023]

Honestly I have watched a few videos and this was THE most helpful :) Thank you! I am so excited to build my set!

[@dorinheskel3328]

I love all your content so much! Thank you for doing such an amazing job with teaching and sharing! LOVE from Toronto ! xoxo

[@picassosdaughter3626]

I love how you're trying to help people. I would be so selfish if I had your talent.

[@shamelessmaya]

[@asmrdemar6559]

[@thelowlyant6990]

Shameless Maya what camera did you use??💕

[@Elynne1]

You have helped me a TON!! Thanks so much girl! ❤

[@dai-ninglin3569]

I love this video, it is really informative. The ones that I've watched talked too much about stuff that doesn't really matter. Good job!

[@Kittypopvegas]

So happy i found your page!!! Im setting up a studio and your so much help!

[@Prejippie]

It's been 4 years since we started, but your videos were part of our early inspiration. Now that we have a Facebook group (for independent artists), I am sharing these videos with them. Thanks for providing that creative and practical spark. :)

[@ShawntaNecole]

I love this video. I use my creative mindset as well. Creation creates art

[@CyndieBeau]

As a new youtuber this is SO helpful for me even in 2019!!

[@cringek1tty]

finally someone showing their lighting set up!!! thank you so much this is so super helpful!

[@HelloJosieLiz]

So many helpful ideas. Thank you SO MUCH!!

[@SteppingStonevlogs]

Oh my gosh your hair, I love how much you rock short hair!!!

[@MaddieandTrue]

Awesome work! So inspiring, thanks for sharing your tips. Definitely going to clean up my room and sit in front of natural lighting the next time I make a video!

[@danielleking8520]

Thank you so much! You are a lifesaver! You can always tell apart the KZbinrs who genuinely want to help people. You are one of them. I want to eventually have a KZbin channel but I'm just now getting started with everything. I've been looking at some of these girl's videos and a lot of them are not very specific about how they made it what they use how they edit their photos etc. It made me realize damn this means they are very competitive and they really don't want other people to succeed or do better than them rather. I appreciate you for putting this together sharing this with us. You are seriously a blessing. I wish you all the success in the world. :)

[@saucytamera5896]

Thank you for posting this video! My daughters and I are currently working on our studio to start our own channel and this video was very helpful! The Amazon links for the lighting saved me so much time!

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

Oh HONEY! Thank you so much for this outstanding video!!! Can't even begin to tell you how much you have helped me - thanks again - SO much!!! 👌

[@TheFernyShow]

LOVE YOU GIRL!!!! Thanks so much for sharing! This is so helpful! Big thumbs up! Xoxo from Paris!

[@maddyjeckasjourney5645]

I like your content , the way you move and talk.. and oh my the energy is so high😍

[@mr.g9665]

So simple yet so effective, lv it and thanks 4 having fun with it we need more of this energy.

[@songstressinblue4135]

wooww you are amazing seriously.....its really very helpful for me thanks😊

[@naomichanellaingg]

This is so helpful! I cant wait to try this methode out!

[@Psychtalker]

OMG!! This video and your 'how to film + edit on your smartphone' video just gave me life. I've been wanting to start my channel for a while, but never committed to doing it because i just can't splurge on equipment right now. Watching your videos has really given me that EXTRA push, now that i know how to use what i have to create good looking content on a budget. Thank you so much!! Xo!

[@shawnlia]

Thank you so much for doing these instructional vids!! They are so helpful for me to learn as I'm gearing up to start my own channel! You're the best!!!

[@VivaLuisyana]

"The less you have, the more creative you have to be." :)

[@piripie8316]

Thank you!!! Finally found something different and exciting on youtube! Sick of them DIYs and hacks videos!

[@ortricetime4281]

I love your channel, I'm working on my channel now and you're such an inspiration. Thanks for being so informative!

[@osahonosa9186]

I love your videos! So much energy! And it's really helpful for us little guys.

[@ForeverDansky]

Hey, what lens model did you use for that lovely blurry background? :)

[@khristinacassanova6223]

I don't know if this is weird but your tech videos are definitely my favorite videos to watch. Like these are the questions many people have but no one on KZbin ever really goes in depth about. Like they might mention the camera they use but that's basically it. I can't wait for your updated video on the technology you use. I feel like you just uploaded one not too long ago but that might be because I've watched it so many times lol. Thank you for this video and definitely can;t wait to see more. Is Samy's the best place you know to get drop back rolls of paper? Or do you know of any other stores or websites? Would it be possible if you did a video on your staple jewelry pieces.

[@khristinacassanova6223]

[@ChandaliTheEsthetician]

i just wanted to come back to your channel and tell you thank you ive been on youtube a year now since i first watched your video you taught me how to build my studio and i just appreciate your channel.

[@nicolegomezxoxo]

I actually really dig your videos. This is only the second one, but there is something that I just really like about the way you do yours. You're kinda amazing. I especially like that they are short and helpful. Thank you!!

[@nanijoline9545]

You can DIY backdrops with fabric. Arnell Armon (sp?) (Alissa Ashleys twin sister) has a beautiful one with glitter

[@jackievee7322]

I love how she works around people's budgets and thinks of every body's possible situation

[@ashleysingleton5380]

Love love all your videos!!!

[@jocjud2006]

For sure I'm taking notes on all these great tips for my upcoming channel!

[@EHCBunny4real]

Can you do a tutorial on how to use a cellphone when making a video including the lenses needed to do it?

[@shamelessmaya]

Which cell though?!?

[@EHCBunny4real]

IDK, maybe an IPhone. I've seen many cellphone videos on YT and I've often wished the angle or lighting was better when doing tutorials, or the picture was focused better. You are a pro. I was hoping you could give tips

[@shamelessmaya]

+EH CBunny done!

[@EHCBunny4real]

Shameless Maya Thanks. Be sure to include tablets in your title because many YT uploaders mention they are using tablets as well

[@shamelessmaya]

+EH CBunny thanks for the heads up!

[@KourtneyCassanova]

I love these tech talks!!!

[@shamelessmaya]

yay!!! she's back with them!

[@bre2kay65]

Thanks so much for all of the info you shared! Something I have been struggling with on my channel. Glad I came across your channel.

[@Nuday477]

this is the first video of yours that I have seen and I really love it I appreciate the knowledge that you're sharing and I just started my KZbin channel so I'm really looking forward to learning a lot from you .God bless you Happy New Year

[@alishainc]

Reason #345 why I respeck Maya! 'The less you have, the more creative you HAVE to be' I would love to hear a Ted Talk from her.

[@texascreoleshani3725]

FACTS!

[@leaofaith258]

very good suggestion that would be awesome. 😃

[@alethea.]

Yessss a Shameless TED Talk would be amazing

[@phalanges6176]

yes

[@tipsytalia]

yasssssss agree.

[@TheComedyHangnail]

What a great idea!! Holy shit, the different coloured backing is awesome!

[@mjstagg6863]

First video of yours I've seen. Great tips for anyone starting out. Something else your viewers can do (if they don't mind painting and such) is to find maybe a pallet or set of doors - or even old flooring - paint it to their liking and use that as a backdrop. Obviously you need to have the space to store it but it's just another way to change things up! Keep doing your thing; ove your energy!

[@kenishalperkins]

Thank you Maya !! You're a life saver!

[@JessicaWarfield]

So far I have a backdrop but I need a good light. Lol I’m using this small LED lamp at the moment with natural light but it works l.

[@BellaTheBlackCat]

I started my youtube channel and this helped me a lot. thank you!!

[@ClubMayaLove]

I am in love! Love your videos!

[@SelmaDanculovic]

Another awesome video! Love these!

[@bellemanning9066]

[@cluelesscraftsman]

I know I’m waaay late to the game but thank you for a video like this. I can find loads of videos about lighting, camera etc but far less about setting up actual background studio looks. This will help.

[@nandofitt]

I'm always interested in photography and videos and light etc etc all media stuff ... So I'm liking what I'm seeing and I was think about starting a home studio set and u helped me now big time. Thanks a lot.

[@user-ji7hr8yz6g]

Loved your video, it was short and to point. Gave me many ideas for mobile photography studio. So many other video, the presenter starts off of tangent and just loves to hear themselves talk.

[@FLIHeritage]

I spotted an area of self-improvement: My camera is always too close to me. LOL. Thank you for the tips :)

[@carmenmich]

Hey, Fli Heritage with the super dope youtube channel :D
