BEHIND THE NAME

Behind the Name
M80 Creative is deeply personal to us. The “M” stands for Max and Morgan, and “80” represents the year we were both born—1980. It’s a simple combination, but it carries our history, our partnership, and the shared vision that drives everything we do.
We’re not just business partners—we’re married, and every project we take on is a true collaboration. Our strengths complement each other, and we approach each assignment with the same dedication and teamwork we bring to our life together.
The name also nods to the M-80 firework: small in size, but delivering an explosive impact. That’s exactly how we see our work—capturing moments that may happen in the blink of an eye but stay with you for a lifetime. For us, that impact is twofold: the emotional connection that makes a photo meaningful, and the bold, creative style that makes it unforgettable.
Our pixelated “M” logo ties the whole story together. A single pixel might seem small and unremarkable, but when arranged with intention, countless pixels create a complete image—just like the fleeting moments we capture come together to tell a full, vivid story. It’s a reminder that every detail matters, and when those details are combined, they create something much bigger than the sum of their parts.
