Introducing Myself

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

Hello All!

My name is Max and I am an amateur photographer based in the Northeastern United States. What started as an impulse buy to have something better than an iPhone to take pictures with has since evolved into a major passion of mine and lead me to experience some amazing places and moments around the United States as well as other places around the world.

I began my journey taking photos around Boston but it wasn't until my first hike in the mountains with my camera that things really clicked and I knew I had found my niche in the photography world.

Most of my hiking has been in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Rather unknown to most outside the Northeast, these mountains are not to be overlooked or underestimated. With peaks reaching as high as 6,000+ feet, true alpine zones, avalanche prone terrain, winds frequently surpassing 100+ mph on the summits, things can go wrong quick. Dangers aside, these mountains offer some truly unique and beautiful moments that I have been lucky enough to experience and capture.

After cutting my teeth in the Mountains of New Hampshire I quickly found myself wanting to explore other parts of the country, both near and far. Quite a few road trips combined with a few flights took me to some amazing places with my camera in hand

Hiking and photography has not only brought me to some amazing places but also introduced me to some amazing people and opportunities that have allowed me to continue enjoying the outdoors as well as give back to the community that supports it.

I hope you enjoyed these photos and I looking forward to engaging more with this community to learn as well as share more photos and stories from my time in the mountains and beyond.

Cheers!
