“Max produced breathtaking landscapes and travel photos that were exactly what we were looking for. His drive to capture action and lifestyle images were astounding-from capturing our subjects in candid moments that depict the ideal vibe of our company, to shooting our guests on motorcycles having the time of their lives. His potential and effort to get the authentic capture is truly remarkable. Will be hiring again for sure!”

-Thomas C.

“Max is so much fun to work with and produces OUTSTANDING photos! His shots are so candid, creative, and artful. I did a shoot with him and a music artist for a song release and it was such a fun time! He even caught a few quick solo shots of me on a whim that ended up being some of my most liked photos on my fitness Instagram! Bottom line - I highly recommend Max!”

-Allison M.

“Max took photos of me for my yoga website. Throughout the shoot he was professional, kind and caring! I'm never comfortable in front of a camera but he made me feel at ease as he took initiative and directed me on where to look and how to angle myself for the best possible photos. Needless to say, I'm SO happy with the results and his work is stellar! Thanks Max!!”

-Courtney B.

“We recently had a fashion photo shoot with Max for Prim Boutique in Los Gatos. Max made the experience fun and relaxing, with a great energy. He kept an active eye in the town that we were shooting in, to assure a wide variety of photo locations and a keen attention to detail of the surroundings. Max was helpful throughout the entire process directing and keeping the photographs natural and fluid. His ability to capture the individual fashion pieces and local handmade jewelry was captivating. He was very easy to work with, has exceptional artistic talent and took gorgeous photographs. He also provided a quick turnaround with the finalized product. If you are in need of a photographer I highly recommend Max!”

-Marissa P.

“Max took maternity pictures for my husband and I, and then newborn photos when our little guy was born. We LOVE the photos and we’re so happy to share them with our families. Max was professional, helped us execute our vision, and got the pics back to us with a super quick turnaround time. We will definitely be going back to him for photos as our family continues to grow!”

-Hannah CC.

“Max was great to work with! I needed some product images for my website. It was sort of a tricky product to photograph, but he ended up coming through with some great images. His turnaround was quick, as well! Even months later, I emailed him with a question and he jumped on a call and helped me out. I have already recommended him to a friend - and will definitely be using him again!”

-Callie S.

“Max shot our engagement photoshoot and was absolutely stellar! My partner and I are not super photo-savvy, but he made the shoot fun and engaging - I would highly recommend Max to anyone looking for a highly professional, friendly and outgoing photographer!”

— Austin D.

“I really enjoyed working with Max! He has a great personality and made me feel very comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. He communicated well and gave helpful direction when needed. It is clear that he is very passionate about photography and views the world through that creative perspective. I definitely recommend him!”

- Joanna W.

“I had such an incredible photoshoot with Max recently! I'm a photographer myself, so I'm extremely picky with who I work with. As someone who is usually behind the camera, I was a little intimidated to be on the other end, but Max made me feel so comfortable. He even helped me solidify my outfits for the shoot. One thing I was worried about is the vulnerability aspect of doing a yoga photoshoot with a male photographer. Max completely eradicated that fear during our time together, and he made me feel confident throughout the whole process. He's amazing at directing and pays attention to detail. Post production was very fast and efficient as well. I'm excited to continue working with him on future shoots!”
