Matt is a multiformat photographer who utilizes digital, film and historic photographic processes to capture the natural world. He has an affinity for photographing trees and water, often while hiking, and enjoys experimenting with numerous techniques to inform and expand his creative process. His foray into historic process photography was sparked by an interest in better understanding the pre-digital era of the art and the subsequent evolution to where we are today. During the past year of exploring these processes, he has created images using wet plate collodion, platinum and palladium, cyanotype, oil, gum bichromate, salt, and dry plates.

As part of his interest in these early processes, he has acquired a wide variety of early photographic equipment — his usable camera collection includes lenses and cameras from  as early as the  1860’s.

Matt is based in Mclean, VA, though his images represent many locations both domestically and abroad.
