RENAISSANCE MAN – DIRK MAI { ARTIST TO WATCH }

tumblr_mjm9lutOzz1qzb8sso1_1280

Dirk Mai is quite the modern day renaissance man.  Not only a fashion and music photographer, and now published book maker, he also makes amazing leather goods and furniture!  A brooke’s institute native, Dirk calls Los Angeles home. His work is simplistic but moving, and we aren’t the only ones that have noticed his amazing eye.  You can often see him on tour with the band The Maine as he is their resident photographer – documenting their shenanigans, lives on the road, and making them look good for the press.  Dirk has shot for numerous companies, notably the clothing line Boy London, and most recently the cover and spread for C-Heads Magazine newest issue!  Currently Dirk has been traveling up and down the west coast of the US documenting his travels.
