J. Maxwell Norman is a Jewish-American documentary and fine art photographer. His work emphasizes stark, evocative compositions of everyday encounters. He lives in Minneapolis with his husband, Todd, and their dog, Alfredo.
Drawing inspiration from range of influence including Romanticism, Film Noir, American Realism, New Topographics, and photojournalism, his photos emphasize the interpretive quality of light in dialogue with the objective nature of setting, and he looks to interrogate his own perspective creating art in an increasingly truth-averse and unstable world.
