Max Draeger is a professional mountain sports and outdoor lifestyle photographer based in Tyrol, Austria working on international commercial and editorial assignments.

Inspired by the shapes, forms and atmospheres created by nature, his work focusses on extraordinary locations and intense weather and light scenarios spiced with strong athletes performance. Striving for a raw and natural look he hardly makes use of artificial lightning.

As a skier, mountaineer and mountain biker himself, he is able to back up his work with a great understanding for the athletes, the action and the environment. Mainly working in a streamlined team of handpicked members, he is able to keep up with the talents, reach remote locations and serves his clients with authentic images that large productions are hardly able to capture.

Recently Max has been working for industry leading brands like ORTOVOX, evil eye and SCARPA as well as magazines like bike, Outdoor, Bergwelten and Backline.
