About

Maximilian Gutierrez is a commercial and promotional DP known with a knack for capturing those unrepeatable moments that bring truth (and humor) to narrative. He’s also made a name for himself lensing just about every celebrity in the business.

With a background in music videos, indie films and film school, he's a scrappy filmmaker at heart and knows how to get it done with less. The American Society of Cinematographers has twice recognized his cinematography, first with the A.S.C. Heritage Award for Outstanding Cinematography Honorable Commendation in 2005 and later with a nomination for the same award in 2006. His work has been recognized by some of the biggest names in the business, including AdWeek, Ad Age, The Drum, the One Club and The Addy’s.

A San Francisco native, Max graduated from UC Berkeley before furthering his education at the USC School of Cinematic where he earned his Masters in Fine Arts.  He currently works freelance out of Los Angeles and is represented by Intrinsic LA.
