Innsbruck: Max Draeger - mountain visuals
Max is an outdoor sports and lifestyle photographer based in Innsbruck, at the heart of the Austrian Alps.
During winter he mainly focusses on one of his biggest passions, ski photography:
“Watching someone ski a beautiful line is like watching an artist drawing, and as a photographer, it is my desire to perfectly frame that moment. Over the years, I’ve worked with amazing athletes that I am truly happy to call my friends. I love how they see and interpret the mountain, a face or a feature, and the process of merging our visions into a beautiful photograph. A great ski image is always the result of teamwork at its finest!”
His clean, minimalistic yet emotional and honest visual approach is widely acknowledged in the industry. Recently he has been working for Ortovox, The Mountain Studio, One Way, Carv, Rossignol, Van Deer, Scarpa, evil eye and many more.
