Maxim's distinctive visual style is raw and clean, influenced by his education in painting and set design. Maxim Repin originally studied set design and painting in his native Russia. After moving to Moscow, he quickly became established as the hot photographer of the emerging Russian fashion scene, shooting for NUMÉRO, L'Officiel, Harper's Bazaar, PF magazine, ELLE, GQ, InStyle amongst others. After ascending to the top of the Russian fashion scene, he packed up his camera and took the leap into the heart of the world's fashion industry, New York City.
