About

Max Gutierrez is a versatile commercial DP with a knack for capturing those unrepeatable moments that bring humor and heart to visual storytelling. His work spans a wide range of genres for such brands as Google, Ford, Comcast, DraftKings, State Farm, Walmart, and TurboTax, and he thrives under the pressure and precision that come with filming celebrities and pro athletes.

The American Society of Cinematographers twice honored him—first in 2005 with the ASC Heritage Award for Outstanding Cinematography (Honorable Commendation) and again in 2006 with a nomination for the same award. Additional accolades have come from Adweek, Ad Age, The Drum, The One Club, and the ADDYs, and his recent work for HBO earned an Emmy.

A San Francisco native, Max earned his degree from UC Berkeley before completing his Master of Fine Arts at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. He now lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three children, and is an active member of Local 600 and the ICG. He is represented by Intrinsic LA.
