the professional photography blog
I am a male variation of the species who enjoys all things involving creating. I have been been at various times and in most cases continue to be a musician, singer, writer, photographer, painter, pencilist, sculptor, filmish person and designer. Essentially if it's creative it's had my attention at one time or another.
I am a professional Fine Art/Wedding photographer based out of Nashville TN and Chicago.
I have lived many places in this country, but have only traveled outside it once. I am working on fixing that at some point in the future. I enjoy bold exploits and times of repose in equal measure. I adore a good red wine and being pretentious about music that I love.

Well, I've been looking at Matt's photos for some time now. But just recently became a contact. His photos of late have become so much more "something". Not sure what changed - but he's on a roll with his creative vision - or whatever you want to call it. I'm really liking the pinhole and motion work. Matt is a st… Read more
Well, I've been looking at Matt's photos for some time now. But just recently became a contact. His photos of late have become so much more "something". Not sure what changed - but he's on a roll with his creative vision - or whatever you want to call it. I'm really liking the pinhole and motion work. Matt is a story teller - I always enjoy his photos and what he has to say about them.
Read lessevery visit renders me in awe of all the beautiful, vibrant, crisp, fresh, earthy, richness this world is around us. his captures are moments of elemental, beautiful, simplicity. i dive into turbo's photostream often. it's an invigorating, sparkling photographic refreshment. ;o) keep on shootin' !
