Max is a Brooklyn-based New York photographer and graduate of the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University. Since he was 3-years-old, he knew he wanted to be a photographer.

In his elementary school years, he was already chasing firetrucks and photographing spot news events. While in high school, he photographed for his local newspaper, The Northampton Press.

Since then, he has photographed for major newspapers such as The Jersey Journal, The Morning Call and Newsday, as well as worked as a photo editor for AOL News/Sports.

It was at his cousin's wedding when he met Jen Capone, a Philadelphia-based photographer who mentored Max and helped him start a wedding photography business.

He currently works for AOL Music as a photo editor.
