Photographer's Profile

Max Dobens

Max Dobens Photography, Spain

Originally from Hamilton, NY and holding a B.A. in Business from Michigan State University, Max's journey in photography has largely been self-guided, devoid of formal training. Throughout the years, he has cultivated and perfected his own style and techniques, untouched by external influences. His strength lies in being self-taught. Max has an innate curiosity that drives him to create images that are not in plain sight and from a perspective that departs from the ordinary. He continuously scrutinizes scenarios and potential compositions, tirelessly striving to achieve the optimal result. In November 2020, Max permanently moved to Valencia, Spain, as part of his quest for an enhanced quality of life, adopting a "Do What Makes You Happy" philosophy. As an award-winning nature photographer in the medium of digital photography, Max has his portfolio showcased on maxdobens.com, publishes his monthly Blog - the Tripod Traveler, and select works of his are periodically featured in gallery exhibitions in the US, Canada and Europe.
