Max Smith is a Cinematographer, shooting films about people and the natural world.


From month-long expeditions in the Arctic to carefully lit studio productions, Max's cinematography is defined not by genre, but by a commitment to beautiful, considered imagery. Years spent filming in some of the world's most demanding environments have given him the skills to capture considered, cinematic imagery - regardless of the shooting environment.

Whether filming global rewilding projects, intimate human stories or ambitious commercial campaigns, Max collaborates with directors who value strong visual language and an uncompromising approach to image-making, telling stories with organisations and brands that champion our natural world, and those working to protect it.
