Maxwell Brown is an entertainment photographer born on the Upper West Side of Manhattan who currently resides in Brooklyn. With an early interest in the film industry, he worked as a production assistant and a set dresser on a variety of big projects in the city, which include The Irishman, John Wick: Parabellum, and Law and Order: SVU. While working on these projects he developed an interest in wanting to be behind the camera. While working 12-18 hours a day, his photography journey started with taking pictures of strangers in his off hours. In 2020, when Covid shut down all filming projects, Maxwell decided to change course and start his photography company: MaxwellPicswell.

Five years later, he has developed a wide range of photographic services for his clients. This spans events, headshots, fashion, product photography, and commercial stills.
