Trained as a musician, British artist Max Miechowski turned to photography after a long trip to Southeast Asia. Portraits, documentaries… The artist is now developing a unique aesthetic, characterised by warm tones and a peaceful atmosphere. It is the light that unites his compositions – a natural, sparkling light. Following the path of the sun, he manages to capture its rays, reflecting its comforting warmth in each of his artworks, forming a sensory collection, reminiscent of sweet summer laziness. “My work largely focuses on the people and places directly around me, in a hope to build a picture of my local community and to understand my place within it”, he told us last year. But what are his favourite subjects, his sources of inspiration? Discover them in his Chinese portrait!
