Maurice Li
Photographer | Content Campaign Producer
Maurice Li is a photographer, producer & co-founder of renowned content agency Stay & Wander. He left a successful career in venture capital over a decade ago to pursue his passion for commercial travel photography and campaign production and hasn’t looked back. Early on Maurice noticed a void in the market—commercial photography and videography simply were not keeping up with the voracious appetite and unique demands of the social media age. As a response, in 2013 he co-founded Stay & Wander, one of the first digital content agencies to specialize in social-first yet world-class, commercially versatile visuals and influencer-led advertising campaigns.
Growing up straddling two cultures and the son of an airline employee, Maurice developed a life-long passion for travel and an insatiable thirst for diverse cultural experiences from an early age. Drawing upon the learnings from his myriad journeys and human connections around the world, he has now built a career channeling his unique perspectives into his work, whether it’s creating imagery and film productions or devising campaigns that showcase the countless ways we share our stories with each other.
In 2011, Maurice was selected as the official photographer & social media content creator for the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge aka Will & Kate’s Royal Tour of Canada. Since then, he has worked with notable clients such as Apple, BMW, Travel Alberta, Google, Ogilvy & Mather, Destination Canada, Lexus, DDB, Destination BC, Target, Proctor & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Marriott International and many more throughout all stages of the content production process. Maurice and his work have been featured by prominent media outlets & sites such as The Guardian, Trip Advisor, Booooooom!, PDN Photo District News, Buzzfeed, MAEKAN and the Boston Globe.
