MAX ROUX

I’m a photographer, ARIA-nominated videographer, and licensed drone operator based in Naarm/Melbourne, currently living and working from Eltham. My passion lies in capturing the unseen — the emotional core of a moment, a movement, or a message. Through my lens, I tell stories that can’t be put into words, translating feeling and purpose into powerful visual narratives.

Guided by a deep connection to music, nature, and the ecology of our world, I approach each project with sensitivity, curiosity, and an eye for the extraordinary in the everyday. My work is rooted in authenticity and creative collaboration — whether it’s with an artist expressing a vision or a brand making a real impact.

I'm especially passionate about working with those reimagining a better future: people and organisations grounded in sustainability, community, and regenerative practices. I believe in using visual storytelling as a tool not just to inspire, but to help build a more connected, conscious, and harmonious world.

WHAT I OFFER

I work with purpose-driven individuals, brands, and organisations to craft visual stories that are meaningful, grounded, and creatively bold.

Sustainable Brand Storytelling
Visual content that speaks to your values. I collaborate with ethical businesses, nature-based initiatives, and regenerative projects to produce compelling imagery that reflects your mission, from short-form video and brand films to behind-the-scenes stories and campaigns.

Vision-Driven Projects
For artists, musicians, and changemakers seeking something deeper. I help bring creative ideas to life through cinematic concept development and production — whether it's a music video, an experimental piece, or a personal narrative that needs space to breathe.

Licensed Drone Cinematography
As a CASA-certified drone operator, I capture aerial visuals that complement grounded storytelling. My drone work supports environmental, creative, and land-based projects — from eco-tourism and retreats to natural installations and landscape-focused storytelling.

If you're working on something with heart, purpose, and vision — let’s connect.
