For New York’s leading architects, builders, and institutions, Max Touhey is the photographer trusted to tell the story of a building from start to finish. His assignments often begin at demolition and extend through years of construction, culminating in the polished architectural images that define a project in the press.
Over fifteen years, Max has documented the city’s most visible work — including One Vanderbilt, the TWA Flight Center, One Madison Avenue, and the new 270 Park Avenue — as well as civic and cultural institutions such as the New York Public Library system and the Whitney Museum. His portfolio spans both the refined and the raw: interiors finished to perfection and construction sites still alive with dust, steel, and the rhythm of crews at work.
In addition to architectural and construction photography, Max is a specialist in aerial work, capturing projects from above by helicopter and other means to reveal perspectives few others can.
Max’s reputation is built entirely on the work itself. He does not advertise, and he does not maintain a social media presence. His images circulate widely in the architectural press, passed along by clients who value consistency, curiosity, and absolute reliability.
