MaxOperandi
Born in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, on the border of Wales, Maxoperandi has spent a lifetime doing what he loves in art, design, and photography. He earned a degree in Graphic Design and Photography in the late 1970's. He cites many influences including Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, George Hurrell, Herb Ritts and John Swannell.
Max initially worked in London for top agencies and design groups, where his photography training proved a great asset working as an Art Director.
In the early 1980's Max set up an advertising and design agency in Derbyshire...this was before the days of the digital revolution (Drawing boards, Magic Markers and Grant enlargers) ...but he relented in 1987 and bought his first Apple Macintosh Classic. Max embraced this new technology and was eventually invited to work in South Africa by the Apple Computer franchise. He was involved in the early promotion and demonstration of Adobe Photoshop, Aldus Freehand and Quark Xpress.
Max returned to London in the mid-nineties and worked freelance for various agencies as a designer and photographer. In his "Day Job" his studio covers all aspects of photography - commercial, fashion, portfolios and recently he has invested in the latest 360 degree product photography which is proving a great asset to his business. Max has always been interested in the art of studio lighting, and especially lighting the nude form. This was recently recognized by the Royal Photographic Society where he gave a day's lecture in Cambridge on "Lighting the Nude". Max is now helping other Photographers by teaching lighting at his studio and on locations in England.
Max has worked with most of the top art nude models in the UK. He has photographed the Milestones TT Calendar with Rachael Clegg and recently worked on a new calendar for the Nurburgring Museum in Germany.
