MAX ROUX

PHOTOGRAPHER | VIDEOGRAPHER | STORYTELLER

Story-driven visuals for people, brands & places that care.
Photographer & filmmaker based in Naarm/Melbourne — creating honest, cinematic work rooted in sustainability, music, and nature.

I’m Max Roux — a photographer, ARIA-nominated videographer, and licensed drone operator based in Eltham, Melbourne. I work with artists, makers, and purpose-led brands to craft visual stories that feel honest, grounded, and alive.

From food and music to land-based projects, my work explores connection between people, place, and the ideas shaping our future.
