A Chicago Photographer

A self portrait of myself used to provide context into who I am as the photographer that runs this page.

Who I Am

Hey, I'm Max!A freelance photographer based in the heart of Chicago. I fell in love with photography when I was around the age of 16, and here I am today still loving it. Learning new things every single day. I see my camera as an extension of myself, allowing me to capture the beauty of life in all its forms.Whether it's the warmth and connection in a heartfelt portrait, the vastness of a breathtaking landscape, the artistry of product photography, the vibe of real estate spaces, or the raw moments on the streets, my goal is to tell stories through these images.I've had the pleasure of collaborating with some wonderful brands. Each project has enriched my passion for photography and deepened my appreciation for the art. Leaving me excited for future relationships I build through this work.Thank you for visiting my portfolio! I hope my work sparks joy and inspires you to see the world from a different perspective. And if you have any questions regarding my work or are interested in collaborating, please don't hesitate to contact me using the form at the bottom of this page. I look forward to hearing from you.
