About the Artist:
Max Kellenberger

Max Kellenberger is a self-trained photographic artist, working with a variety of traditional and experimental techniques and processes.

Born in a small town in Central Switzerland, Kellenberger’s work has been shown and published internationally including an exhibit of the Polaroid Collection in the Nikon Gallery in Zürich, Switzerland; a solo exhibition at the Galerie Kunsthäuschen in Herrliberg, Switzerland; a two-person show at Rick Wester Fine Art in New York; and two solo shows at Corden|Potts Gallery in San Francisco. He was a recipient of the 20x24 Camera Grant from Polaroid and the winner of the Golden Light Award from the Maine Photographic Workshop, as well as a Professional Photographers Award from Santa Fe Workshops. His photographs are in numerous private collections, including those of Elton John, Graham Nash, and Joaquim Paiva, as well as major institutions such as the Polaroid Collection.

At an early age he showed a great interest in photography, starting by developing his film in his mother’s closet. Upon receiving an East German SLR camera for his 13th birthday Kellenberger’s passion for photography was cemented. While still in high school he began to work as a photojournalist for the local newspaper. After graduating from high school he took a position at an advertising agency, all the while continuing to photograph for the newspaper. In 1980 he opened his own studio specializing in advertising and fashion. After his move to San Francisco in 1992, fine art photography became his main focus.

He is represented by Corden|Potts Gallery in San Francisco, Rick Wester Fine Art in New York, and Galerie Bildhalle in Zürich, Switzerland.
