Max Zaharenkov
Producer, Filmmaker, and Travel Creator Based in London

Hey, I’m Max. I’m a London-based travel creator, filmmaker, and founder of a few things you’ve probably heard me talk about — ZAHARE Media, 7direxions, and 971Prod. I’ve shot in over 113 countries, worked with Fortune 500 brands, and built a global audience of 4M+ who follow the way I see the world.

None of this started as a business. It started with a camera, a one-way ticket, and the need to document the feeling of movement — of being somewhere new, somewhere real.

Now I spend my time:
• Creating cinematic content for brands, hotels, and destinations
• Sharing raw, unfiltered stories from around the world
• Coaching creators on how to grow and monetize their work
• Building tools that make life easier for travel entrepreneurs
• Finding quiet in the chaos through surf, yoga, or the occasional 10-day silent retreat

I care about light, mood, and realness. I shoot for feeling — not for perfection. If it’s staged, overly polished, or fake, I’m not interested. I’m here to tell stories that make you pause, think, and want to go live your own.

So whether you’re here to work together, explore, or just get inspired — let’s make it meaningful.

Let’s not just travel. Let’s pay attention.
