About the Author:

Maximilian Marquardt is a journalist and creative director and currently based in a mellow town near Munich.

Before he studied journalism, he attended the institute for foreign language correspondence in Munich (FIM), studying correspondence in English and Spanish. After graduating and working for several years as a correspondent for the university in Munich (TUM), he started studying journalism in Berlin, Karlsruhe and Munich.

The years of studying definitely weren´t a walk in the sun. During daytime, he was working as a precision mechanic in a small garage, burnishing steel parts and brazing metal blanks, inhaling sooty air and literally becoming half deaf because of the daily noise level at work. After closing-time, he opened his books in order to read and learn for his exams at university, often whole nights long. But after all, it was worth it and he finally graduated, with a final score of 1.3 for his coverage about the war in Ex-Jugoslavia.

After several full-time jobs in agencies and editorial offices (Huffpost Germany, Münchner Merkur, Vice etc.) he has been working for the German version of "Playboy“ as the Head of Online-Content, being responsible for the whole digital media appearance companies, small businesses and agencies.

For 6 years he has been working as a riot- and conflict reporter (see Coterie Collective) with a certain focus on riots and the Balkans.

He also works as a freelance journalist, photographer and texter for several magazines, companies, small businesses and agencies.

Whether it´s taking photos of a free-solo climber in the mountains, interviewing protesters in the midst of turmoil and riot, packing stuff for a coverage in the Balkans, or working night-shifts with your beloved colleagues: You can´t be a journalist if you aren´t really into it. You can´t do it halfhearted. It´s dedication, pure and simple. Composing catchy soundwaves or working on a bone-thrilling coverage – to Max Marquardt, there is no difference.
