Welcome to PHOTO | MAXIMUS.
I’m a Las Vegas based photographer specializing in Landscape, Nature, Wildlife, Fashion, Tasteful Glamour and Travel photography. I’m available for selected projects, so if you have something in mind, contact me. Most of the photography I do was for commercial websites, catalogs, and other materials and products that I’ve produced for my own businesses. I’m available for most types of photography except wedding photography (that is too stressful).
My approach to photography is to try to have fun. If it’s not fun, why do it? So I’m very low key, flexible, and I’ll try many different projects, angles, techniques, and i’m not afraid to experiment. Sometimes you never know what the result will be, and are pleasantly surprised.
I currently reside in Las Vegas; and I’m available for travel as appropriate.
For websites, photographers, books, and other information that I like, and use, see the resources page.
