outdoor, adventure and sports photography & motion Feb 2024

"I try to get outside a lot. Bike rides, hikes, kayak trips; just put me in nature and I’m happy. I’ve shot outdoor campaigns and lookbooks for brands like Arcteryx, Tilley Endurables, Section 35, and Kit and Ace.

But aside from the drama and action, one of my favourite parts of any adventure is the in between moments, friends hanging out, cooking food, waiting for boats, or being completely wiped after an epic climb. When we let our guard down and just revel in the moment. Easy to overlook but often the parts that are most remembered.

Like on a kayak trip last summer, catching fresh crabs for dinner, and while distracted by the delicious food sharing my beer with a local slug. Or on another trip, camping by possibly the buggiest lake ever, we had to drink through our mosquito nets as they’d go for any exposed skin. The sports are great, but at the end of the day, but its nothing without the people you share it with."

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!”
