The photographer

Max Wilson

Max has been a professional photographer and cinematographer for over 20 years, based in the Chicago area. Across two decades he has worked in nearly every corner of the industry — from corporate media production to specialty visual projects. His photography and media work has been featured, displayed, and licensed worldwide by major corporations, and has appeared in movies, commercials, and other productions. Today his focus is on licensing media and photographs, and offering fine art prints directly to clients who value work built for the biggest stages. It’s a privilege that so many clients continue to return, project after project — feel free to get in touch to inquire about current services.
