Max Munn Autrey

---

Max Munn Autrey (1891-1971) was a protégé of Albert Witzel, one of the most prominent commercial photographers in early Twentieth-Century Los Angeles. Autrey opened his own studio in 1922, but by 1926 he was working almost exclusively for William Fox’s Hollywood studio, the Fox Film Corporation. Equally adept at pictorialist scene stills and portraits, Autrey survived the 1929 ouster of Fox but returned to a private commercial studio long before the studio’s 1936 merger with Twentieth Century.
