About MAV

A visual production studio for the moments that matter.

Max Akin Visuals captures events, brands and people across Scotland and the UK — in stills and on film, often both at once.

From VIP brand activations and conferences to portraits, weddings and late-night launches, we work quietly, move quickly and deliver work you'll want to share the next morning.
