Amsterdam-based landscape photographer Max shares his evolution from a novice to an award-winning visual artist capturing the planet’s most dramatic natural scenes. With a background in sustainability, Max brings a thoughtful, purpose-driven lens to his photography—aiming not just to showcase beauty, but to deepen our connection with the environment and raise awareness about its fragility.

In this conversation, Max discusses his creative process, the role of composition, and how social media shaped the trajectory of his career. He opens up about overcoming self-doubt, building a unique visual voice, and how guiding photo tours has allowed him to pass on skills while exploring some of the world’s wildest places. From long exposures and drone work to the ethics of travel and the rise of AI in the arts, Max brings a balanced and inspiring perspective.

Whether you’re curious about the creative process or the mindset required to build a meaningful photography career, this episode offers both inspiration and insight.

I hope you enjoy the show!
