The other view of Max Beerman.

An unconventional Dutch photographer, a young collector of moments ... his sensitivity makes the camera capable of expressing feelings in an instant, to give their particular social perspective through his lens.

After a photography course in Holland and many hours practicing with his best friend Photographer Alex Rocca Serra, he began his professional career in 2007. Since then, his career lifted as he started working for the magazine NEDWORK Spain, NEW online magazine for Dutch business. In 2011 he offered one of his pictures to a contemporary art event held by 'Sotheby's' in Milan.
The yield would be for charity. He also worked on the Ke kalendar, a timetable for Ke bar known in Barceloneta (Barcelona) with main sponsor Heineken. It was while exposing his photos in several exhibitions, like  'solo solas somos libres’ (Barcelona 2010), ‘ Porcelain' (Barcelona 2010) and ‘Vinilo’ (Barcelona 2011) that one could really feel his expression through his pictures.

After 2 years in Barcelona, he wanted to see another light waking up, other people smiling and different sunsets, so he packed his bag and went to South East Asia. Starting in Bangkok, going all the way north crossing to Laos, then making his way south into Cambodia and returning once more to Bangkok. The pureness of the Asian people touched him and made him even more confident of what would have to be his goal in life, taking pictures under the perspective of what can be called Social Photography.

The following two years, he visited Brazil and India, capturing two different sides of the world. Moving in between developing countries, traditional societies and the consumption society we live in Europe made him grow up as a social photographer. Though the society we live in can be hard, selfish, ignorant and cruel, its beauty can be found everywhere; we just need to look for it.

His photos are a book full of stories, peeping from behind the camera he waits in silence and with patience is able to immortalize the muffled cry of a child, the forgotten corner of a street full of excesses or the contrasts of a city that never takes the time to see the colors of the sky.

His lens is sometimes the witness of a truth and sometimes of a fantasy. He is able to move, hit or surprise... His pictures are the reflection of a ‘writer of the light’ unable to leave anyone indifferent.
