ARTIST PROFILE BY MIA GOLDSTEIN Photos by Max Steiger
Last summer, Max Steiger, Community High School senior bought his first film camera. It was an Olympus OM2N. He had been around photography and cameras his whole life — but on a sudden impulse, he bought his own. During the past year, Steiger has learned to be deliberate and purposeful with each photo he takes. When the shutter snaps, there’s no redos. Every picture must be carefully framed, the angle perfected and hold true meaning before he takes his shot.

Recently, he has found a new inspiration for his photography. In August, his family is moving to North Carolina. Steiger decided he wants to start collecting photos that are most relevant to him and his town. Anything that catches his eye or holds a memory for him, he hopes to capture in a way that resonates with him and his audience. He hopes to extend the feelings he captures out to anyone who sees his photos.
