Max Richardson
An American born photographer, living in Israel since 1991. Since 1996 he has made Jerusalem's most revered sites his visual home.
Max’s imaging skills know no boundaries. When presenting photographic lighting workshops at the Hadassah College of Technology in Jerusalem, Max was known to his students as the doctor of light.
His images give us a rare look at the excavations along the Western Wall of the Temple Mount in the book, “The Western Wall Tunnels, Touching the Stones of Our Heritage” (Dan Bahat, Israel Ministry of Defence), and “City of David, The Story of Ancient Jerusalem”, (Ahron Horovitz) and more.
While putting his heart into bringing these renowned sites to the world, Max was the lighting designer for several fine art photography books and exhibitions:
“Historic Synagogues of the World”, Neil Folberg, Aperture Foundation;
“Travels with Van Gogh and the Impressionists”, Lin Arison / Neil Folberg Abbeville Press;
“Feast For the Senses, A Musical Oddesy in Umbria” Lin Arison/Neil Folberg, and many more
