Today we must take a look to a British talent called Max. We say talent 'cause we believe he still has to show pretty much to all of us, indeed he likes what he does and that's something no one will ever take out from him. Max's work could appear in a book and his name would be one we would mark to look for and afterwards put a few of his pictures onto our wall. When asking him about his references we thought on Lise Sarfati et voilà, there she appeared between others, so please enjoy his words and his work.
We: Where are you from and what do you do?
Max: I am originally from a town called Milton Keynes which is pretty much smack bang in the middle of England. Now, for most of the year I live in Plymouth where I study photography at uni.
W: What does art mean to you?
M: I feel like i have learnt a lot through art, not just about art itself but the way it makes me actually think more everything, without art in all its different forms i think i'd be very lost.
W: Where do you find inspiration?
M: To be honest, I think i get most of my inspiration from my friends on my course. Photography is pretty much the only thing some of us talk about which is incredibly geeky but it also generates so many thoughts and ideas.
W: Which are your favourite artists?
M: It changes all the time but at the moment Alec Soth, Lise Sarfati and Aron Wiesenfeld are particular favourites.
W: Future plans?
M: Recently i have been trying to work out the logistics of studying an MA photography course in Ghent, Belgium so in a year or two, fingers crossed, i'll be there 'furthering my career' and accumulating more debt!
