Max and Lara

are photographers and filmmakers with more than two decades of combined experience working nationally and internationally. Rooted at Lake Chiemsee and Munich Germany, their work centers on people — capturing authentic moments across commercial, editorial, and documentary contexts.

They collaborate closely on projects while also working independently, always united by a shared visual language and a commitment to meaningful storytelling.

Their approach is shaped by a deep curiosity for human stories and real situations. With backgrounds in editorial and commissioned work, they often photograph people in their natural environments, balancing observation with intentional visual storytelling. Whether working with available light or carefully crafted setups, their imagery feels atmospheric, honest, and emotionally grounded.

Max and Lara combine creative intuition with technical precision, creating still and moving images that feel timeless yet contemporary. Their work is driven by an openness toward every individual they encounter and a sensitivity for subtle, in-between moments — resulting in visual narratives that resonate beyond the surface.

"We believe in capturing real moments and telling true stories — honest, unfiltered, and full of life.

Stories that are real. Not fabricated. Not generated."
