Everyone is so beautiful!
I have spent more than ten years studying photography, and as a self-taught artist, I have been my most frequent subject. The result is a decade's worth of images—a personal history of my struggles and successes, and I'm grateful for every moment.
Seeing my life documented this way has convinced me that more people need this experience. This is the inspiration behind my creative portrait photography service.
Heirloom Art
My goal is to create an experience that culminates in art that you will hang on your wall for decades and pass on to the next generation.
It's about more than just a photograph; it's about capturing a yourself in a moment, telling a story, and seeing yourself for the true piece of art that you are.
Yes, I have a giant portrait of myself hanging in my living room and I want you to have one too!
Focus on Portraiture
I have spent years exploring the world through my lens, capturing everything from cheeseburgers to wedding vows. Through this diverse exploration, I realized a deeper calling: to create images that empower and uplift. That’s when my focus shifted to portraiture.
Healing through Art + Connection
Beyond photography, I'm passionate about mental health. Art has been a powerful tool for my own well-being, and I'm dedicated to sharing that with others. My prints and merchandise are designed to create spaces that inspire and soothe the soul.
Your Portrait Journey
What sets me apart is my commitment to the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final print, I'm invested in your journey. I believe that art should be accessible and enjoyed, which is why I offer high-quality prints as part of every portrait package.

About Max Duckworth
Photography has always been more than just a profession for me; it's a passion that fuels my soul. With a camera in hand, I feel a deep connection to the world around me, and I'm constantly seeking new ways to capture and share its beauty.
Visual Storyteller
As a teenager, I loved creative writing. I went to college with the idea of pursuing this hobby as a career. Some time after receiving my Bachelor's degree in English from Florida Atlantic University I purchased my first camera with manual functions and I have done little literary storytelling since.
The shift to visual storytelling felt so natural to me I almost did not notice. While I've explored various photographic genres, portraiture has become my true calling. There's something undeniably captivating about capturing a person's essence and creating images that empower and inspire.
What sets my work apart is my commitment to collaboration. I believe that photography is a shared experience, and I strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment for my clients. Together, we embark on a creative journey, exploring ideas and pushing boundaries to create truly unique and meaningful portraits.
Lifelong Artst
I have been an artist my entire life. When I was young and my mom wanted to throw away any shiny piece of packaging, I would often protest, "but I can make something out of it!"
