“ 'If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument' ”
(Eve Arnold)
Welcome
Hello, my name is Max, I live in Stonehaven with Kev and my two kids. We have a crazy cocker called PePe. I have loved photography for as long as I can remember after completing my degree but over the last fews years I've realised meeting new folks as well as creating timeless photos has become a favourite part of my job. My style is relaxed, I am much more interested in capturing your family as you are, I am not into staged posed shots although I appreciate they have their place and do include them! I believe photography is incredibly important, family life moves at such a pace it is important to capture those moments. The photos will pop up on your social media or you will come across prints in a drawer or on your phone, either way I am sure you will be glad to have them. My job is to ensure you have a great experience, to have patience and most importantly to make you feel comfortable.
I'm very interested in therapeutic photography, as I believe capturing moments in nature is good for the soul. This is an area I'm exploring further while beginning a course in counselling skills. I'm still at the start of this journey, but I’m excited to see where it leads.
