Max den Hartog (1999) is a photographer and visual artist based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. His work is colourful, outspoken, and infused with a sense of humour.

Originally graduating as an illustrator, Max developed a visual perspective that naturally evolved into a passion for photography. He’s inspired by his love of pop culture, and seeks to explore his fascination in identity related topics and queer expression while blending a playful yet critical point of view. His images capture bold personalities, vibrant aesthetics, and moments that challenge, celebrate, and entertain.
