Everyone sees the same things. Some just see them more clearly. Max is one of the latter. World-renowned. World-view. Born in Nairobi, Kenya, raised in London, currently a citizen of New York, Max Vadukulís images are born from a patience, an ability to wait for the moment and the innate sense of when to lower the boom. An image-maker of the highest degree, Max is a consummate professional. And a world-class artist. The love of his craft and the passion for his work blend to form some of the most compelling and memorable photographs the fashion, art, celebrity and editorial worlds have ever seen. A lifetime of preparation. A truly inquisitive mind. An eye tuned as keenly as any instrument. An image-maker. Max Vadukul. Raw. Real. Beautiful.
In addition to high-profile editorial and fashion campaigns for Italian Vogue, Líuomo Vogue, Vogue Hommes International, Egoiste, i-d, Chloe, Comme des Garcons, Yohji Yamamoto, Romeo Gigli, Armani, Sonia Rykiel, Max Mara, and Express, Max is staff photographer for the New Yorker and Interview magazines. His books, Max and Crazy Horse simply cannot be found anywhere and are highly collectible. His covers for Rolling Stone have led to a second career as an aspiring drummer who sits in not only with his sonís band, but many of the bands who are captured by his lens.
He currently resides in New York with his wife and frequent collaborator, Nicoletta Santoro, fashion editor at Italian Vogue and their two children.
