I’m Max C Lee-Russell, a Brooklyn-based photographer and videographer with 10 years of experience documenting artworks, exhibitions, and events across New York City. Working primarily with downtown galleries, artists, and institutions, I bring a particular sensitivity to small and experimental spaces and a strong understanding of sales directors’ needs. I provide detailed, color-accurate photography captured at 102 megapixels in 16-bit color, with a focus on quick turnaround. I also offer full video production for artist talks and panel discussions, from multicamera filming and sound recording to final editing.
