About Me
My name is Maximiliano Blanco .
I was born in 1984 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
When I was twenty years old I met the world of photography thanks to a job in a photo lab.
My first "war" camera was a 35mm Minolta XG 9. With that camera and my job had the opportunity to develop and copy my own photos.
It was a great life lesson to be involved in developing photos at this time.
My biggest influences are Robert Capa & James Natchwey. I pay attention to their stories in photography. In my early years as a photographer I learnt to do social reporting of people in the street.
The best learning experience was photographing homeless people. It was one of my first stories and remains current.
At that time I wanted to be a war photographer. I think I had this crazy idea because I was very young. I don't think I would have the balls to be in a war.
Time passed, and I started to photograph cycling.
And I found the way to be a war photographer, without having to be in a war.
Work Process
In the last years my main job was photographing for Shimano Latin America.
I had the opportunity to photograph all disciplines of cycling.
BMX, Mountain Bike, Road, Track, Downhill, Cyclocross and also be in the best biking circuits of Latin America with the world's best cyclists.
