Bio:   Equally comfortable making a simple portrait or working on complex productions, Matthew's work strives to incorporate a conceptual thread and embody classical sensibilities with a modern aesthetic. His pursuit is to make images that endure and remain timeless, while retaining a contemporary relevance.

Matthew has won several awards for his editorial and advertising photography. He was featured in PDN's inaugural "30" issue and his "Century of Portraits" pictorial for Esquire Magazine earned him awards from the Art Directors of NYC and the Society of Print Designers. Matthew's groundbreaking Apple iPod silhouette campaign earned him numerous awards, including: the Kelly, the One Show, and Cannes. He won Best Editorial for the IPA/Lucie awards and has been featured in trade magazines such as Communication Arts. Matthew has also directed several commercials and music videos. Notably, he worked with actor Adrian Grenier on a filmic ad for Rock the Vote prior to the 2008 presidential election and recently finished a video shot entirely on stills for Howie Day on Epic Records.

Aside from commercial endeavors, Matthew continues to develop several bodies of personal work and is currently working on a short film.  He is always looking to collaborate on good ideas with creative people.
