I’m Max Aria, a Los Angeles-based Photographer, Director of Photography, videographer, and editor who loves turning storyboards into compelling on-screen visuals. I plan shots with the right mood and goal in mind, capture content on location or in studio with a team of professionals, and then refine it in post-production to deliver polished final work. I shoot high end celebrity events, usually at hotels based around Beverly Hills, West Hollywood or Downtown Los Angeles. I provide options of a 24 hour turnaround on fully ready files and generally use a 2-to-3 camera setup unless more discretion is warranted.
