Background

About Max Dobens

Originally from Hamilton, NY and holding a B.A. in Business from Michigan State University, Max's journey in photography has largely been self-guided, devoid of formal training. Throughout the years, he has cultivated and perfected his own style and techniques, unshaped by external influences. His strength lies in being self-taught. Max has an innate curiosity that drives him to create images that are not in plain sight and from a perspective that departs from the ordinary. He continuously scrutinizes scenarios and potential compositions, tirelessly striving to achieve the optimal result. In November 2020, Max made Valencia, Spain his permanent home in pursuit of a richer quality of life, embracing a “Do What Makes You Happy” philosophy. He now also divides his time between Valencia and Toulon, France. As an award-winning artist in the medium of digital photography, Max has his work showcased on maxdobens.com, publishes his monthly Blog - the Tripod Traveler, offers guided photography tours in Valencia and select works of his are periodically featured in art shows and gallery exhibitions in the US, Canada and Europe.
