6x20: From Below to Above

<p><i>“Photography is such a complex occupation that ‘shooting’ is not the best way to describe it. It was only when I started seeing and understanding what makes a bad photograph that I took a true interest in making the best image that I could. Personal satisfaction is the biggest motivator for me to pursue the best light and composition to capture the ideal image.”</i> ~ Max Leitner</p><p>Max Leitner, a prolific young travel photographer from Stuttgart, Germany, has journeyed through every continent in this world. Max is also what could be described as a “vertical explorer,” from shooting in abandoned underground mines to capturing the highest peaks of Europe from a helicopter. <i>6x20: From Below to Above</i> compiles his travel images into six chapters of 20 images each, organized by altitude: from the underground to street level, to buildings, to rooftops, to drones and helicopters.</p><p>While he shoots for brands such as Nikon, BMW, Husqvarna and Huawei, Max often approaches his personal work as a fine artist, shooting with DSLR and medium format cameras.</p>
