I embrace both Roger Bacon's statement that "I take all knowledge as my province," and Robert Heinlein's declaration that only insects should specialize. I am a graduate of the Art Institute of Atlanta but not in photography.

 

A note for all of those people who have added me to their contacts - at the risk of seeming rude, if all you have in your photostream are amateurish nude photos of yourself or your friends (especially genitalia) or ripped off pictures from porn sites then you can pretty well assume that I am not going to add you back as a contact. Also, please do not leave suggestive comments on my photographs. They annoy me and scare the models. Thank you for your cooperation.

Photos of Russ Matthews

Testimonials

Amber says:

Russ has a unique eye that takes the mundane and makes it interesting and takes the sublime and makes it divine. His Necropolis Americana series is my favorite non-portrait photographic series ever, and having a portrait done by him is on my list of things to do in the not-too-distant future. A photographer to watch.
