Max Lowe is a National Geographic Explorer. He travels the world and tells the stories of the people he meets through photographs. But how did Max become an explorer? And did he always want to be a photographer?

“No, a long time ago actually, I wanted to be an airplane pilot. But in high school, I started writing and taking lots of photos. That’s when I fell in love with photography. At that time, I wanted to become a journalist. When I graduated from high school, my parents gave me my first digital camera.”

Family is very important to Max.

“My father was my hero during my childhood. He died when I was 12 years old, but he continues to inspire me. My mother is also my hero. She is the one who introduced me to the outdoors. My mother re-married, so my adopted father is also my hero. He’s always very supportive of me.”
