Maksim Podorozkin (He/Him) is a Northampton based photographer. He was born in Lithuania in a small town called Visaginas. After studying acting in college and university, Maksim decided that acting was not a career choice for him. Instead Maksim took on his love for photography further and developed himself with creative knowledge that he had gained from his studies.
Maksim has worked alongside Northampton University students, photographing performances and producing headshots for individuals.
He has also photographed rehearsals for a Carbon Theatre play named ‘when we die’ which was performed at VAULT Festival in London.
Maksim’s work has also been exhibited at two exhibitions. One of them being for ‘REVOLT. REVIVE. REKINDLE.' which focuses on the UK Government’s campaign from 2018 which showed a lack of support for the creative industries following the global pandemic. His work centred around creative individuals based in Northamptonshire who were still producing artwork throughout.
Maksim focuses on creating artwork with meaning behind them and aims to shine a light on under-represented minorities. With his previous experience in theatre, he uses it to his advantage, be it to to tell stories through imagery or directing and brainstorming work.
