Minchev.

Founder & Director of Max Velvet

I built Max Velvet to represent the faces that move culture. Every booking on this site runs through me — I personally approve the talent, direct the briefs, and stand behind every face we send. If you are a brand, a casting director, or a photographer, you are talking to me.
