the professional photography blog
I am a male variation of the species who enjoys all things involving creating. I have been been at various times and in most cases continue to be a musician, singer, writer, photographer, painter, pencilist, sculptor, filmish person and designer. Essentially if it's creative it's had my attention at one time or another.
I am a professional Fine Art/Wedding photographer based out of Nashville TN and Chicago.
I have lived many places in this country, but have only traveled outside it once. I am working on fixing that at some point in the future. I enjoy bold exploits and times of repose in equal measure. I adore a good red wine and being pretentious about music that I love.
Right now my camera gear is comprised of:
Canon Gear:
-Canon 40d SLR
-Canon EOS Rebel K2 film SLR
-Canon A85 digital wunder-toy (this doesn't see as much action these days)
Canon Lenses
-Canon 100mm f/2 Prime

-Olympus OM-1 Film Manual SLR (this is a gorgeous mint condition gift from my grandfather)

"Well, I've been looking at Matt's photos for some time now.
But just recently became a contact.
His photos of late have become so much more "something".
Not sure what changed - but he's on a roll with his creative vision - or whatever you want to call it.
I'm really liking the pinhole and motion work.
Matt is a story teller - I always enjoy his photos and what he has to say about them."1st May, 2007
