Close Call

Max Viper is a visual artist known for crafting surreal. cinematic visions of the American West through the lens of vintage cars. wildlife encounters. and desolate landscapes. Blending AI with hyperreal photography techniques and dreamlike compositions. his work often revolves around themes of escape. confrontation. and the fragile boundary between the wild and the mechanical. The prints feel like stills from forgotten road movies — moments suspended between reality and hallucination. Viper treats AI not as a gimmick but as a medium. channeling a distinctly American mythos into images that feel both impossibly staged and hauntingly believable.
