Michael Maximilian Heinz, alias Michael Max, is a self-employed photographer and adventurer born 1990 in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

After a high school and business degree in Switzerland Michael decided to join the LIK Photo & Design Akademie Vienna in 2014 which helped him advance his technical knowledge in digital Photography. In 2015 he went to Dublin to attend Griffith College and obtain a degree in Applied Digital Media. 2016, having spent a year in Ireland Michael embarked on a journey through India, ultimately arriving in Sri Lanka where he created photo projects focused on socio-economic topics in urban as well as rural regions. The time in Sri Lanka had a particular great impact on his photography as well as personal life which made him return to the island ever since.
