About

I’m Max Trane — a third-generation Newport Beach local who grew up around the water, surrounded by boats, beaches, and golden sunsets. Ocean views have always been part of my daily living.  

Growing up, I’ve had health challenges, and these health challenges still impact me to this day. Photography has become an outlet and a way for me to have purpose and connect with others. It’s also brought me a lot of joy and continues to inspire me.

My work focuses on the moments that make the coast feel alive — golden hours, quiet harbors, open water, and the peaceful details people often miss. Each print is more than décor; it’s a feeling, a memory, a connection. Whether you’re from Southern California, enjoy visiting here, or simply love the ocean, my goal is to bring the beauty and calm of the coast into your home.
