Chenoa is no stranger to the camera. This New York native began  her career in front of the lens, and is perhaps best known for her breakout performance as the lead female in Miramax’s indie feature Hav Plenty.  On the small screen, she enjoyed a successful run as the much beloved “Lena” on “Girlfriends”.  But, it is in the movie, G, a modern urban retelling of The Great Gatsby, staring opposite veteran actor Blair Underwood that Maxwell emerges as a true screen siren.

In 2006, Chenoa took a hiatus from Hollywood and moved to London to study photography.  After receiving her formal training from such notable photography masters such as David Alan Harvey, Phillipe Pache and Stephen Shames, she pursued her passion for photography by traveling the world shooting reportage for various non-profit organizations.  Chenoa’s distinctive style and use of light quickly established her as a sought after photographer and in 2008, she landed her first cover job for Dime Magazine featuring Shaquille O’Neal.

Specializing in environmental and celebrity portraits, Chenoa continues to be commissioned by many of the major publications, movie and music companies and is privileged to be the entrusted personal photographer for a host of celebrities. Her striking images have been exhibited in the Art Meets Architecture Exhibit in Sag Harbor, NY, Soho Photo Gallery in New York, Lex Leonard Gallery in New Jersey, and Cinema Odeon in Firenze Italy, Knickerboker Art Show, NY, Split Second: Africa, Mimosa Champagne Lounge, Oakland, CA and is currently exhibiting her works entitled Introspection: India at The Papillion Institute of Art in Los Angeles, CA.
