About the Author
Greetings! My name is Max Duroseau. I am a Haitian-American educator, photographer, documentarian, and storyteller from South Florida. My creative focus is on portraiture, street photography, and fine art.
I love using my photography to capture the beauty in people and things that are often overlooked or hidden. One of my passions is exploring villages and rural communities from off the beaten path, and revealing their secrets in a way that inspires curiousity.
I combine this passion with my backgorund as a teacher to share my insight on a variety of topics in the domain of education, creativity, and life. In my spare time, I enjoy running, listening to hip-hop, watching old movies, and eating Krispy Kreme donuts! I currently live in Shanghai, China.
