It is during his time in nature that Matt feels less bound by circumstance and more dialed in to the immeasurable potential of consciousness and life. Through his extensive explorations, Matt observes the rapid pace at which our planet is changing. He acknowledges the vulnerability of our remaining original ecosystems, and recognizes them as the last true examples of Creation's intended design. He wishes to preserve the memories of these disappearing wonders with his own portrayals. Through his images, Matt strives to convey a sense of simplicity, order, reverence or even power.

Matt believes deeply in the honest depiction of the human experience. Every photograph was seen through his eyes. With the application of several advanced digital techniques Matt is able to manually overcome the limitations of a camera while artfully drawing his viewers into the frame. Though he does enjoy the personal touch of digital enhancements, his primary focus is to maintain full integrity of his subjects, of nature and of reality itself.

In honing this craft, Matt sought mentorship from his greatest inspirations in nature photography. In turn, he is now providing inspiration and mentorship to others through workshops and creative critiques. Matt's quest for remote landscapes and magnificent light has taken him to a vast range of places including the Himalayas, Patagonia, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Pakistan, Lebanon, the Peruvian Andes, Indonesia and many more. He has been personally sponsoring his creative journey by working as an Air Traffic Controller since 2004 and currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia.
