ABOUT
Matt’s love for photography was born the day he picked up a camera to document the early life of his newborn son. What began as a personal desire to preserve fleeting moments evolved into a deep, ongoing exploration of people, place, and presence.
Rooted in Phoenix, Arizona, and working throughout the Southwest, Matt specializes in commercial, editorial, portrait, and corporate photography. His work is guided by curiosity and care—infused with a quiet reverence for the authentic and the in-between. Whether collaborating with agencies, brands, or small businesses, he brings a grounded presence to set, aiming not just to capture images, but to create meaningful visual narratives.
Matt is the co-owner of Blok Photo Studio, a daylight studio in Downtown Phoenix, and co-founder of Litebox Creative, a production company providing gear rental and on-set support for creatives across Arizona. These ventures reflect his commitment to both the craft and community of image-making.
At the heart of it all is a simple belief: great photography is more than just visuals—it’s a way of seeing, connecting, and honoring the story beneath the surface.
