Max Hall is a commercial photographer based in Newport Beach, California, specializing in lifestyle, outdoor, and action-sports work for brands and professional athletes. His style is fast and spontaneous — built to catch real moments and real motion rather than stage them. That instinct is earned. Max grew up ski racing for the U.S. national team, traveling the world in pursuit of the sport before trading his skis for a camera. He moved to Southern California with little formal training and a lot of grit, paying his dues on production sets and living out of his van so he could shoot and surf full-time. The discipline of an athlete and the eye of a documentarian have shaped his work ever since. For the past five years Max has been the primary photographer for Olympic Skier Michaela Shiffrin. His commercial corporate campaigns include Oakley, AG1, Atomic, Tilly’s, YRR footwear just to name a few. In all his work Max brings an authentic feel for the active California lifestyle — and a rare ease around athletes and talent.
