ARTICLES & REVIEWS
I consider it a privilege to capture portraits of people that put them in their best light. A good photograph of someone can literally change their life and in today’s age of Social Media and “first impressions” this couldn’t be more true.
Helping my clients find their beauty and power is a responsibility I do not take lightly and I work very hard to help people represent themselves in the best possible way to show the world who they are, and more importantly, who they can be.
I am very proud of the reviews people have left me. In many ways, the reviews below and those on Google are a testament to my commitment to capturing the true essence of every Client I have had the good fortune to work with… and to me, that’s everything.

“Having shot with many of Canada’s leading photographers over the past 40 years I can safely say that Matthew is a consummate professional.

My photo shoot experience with Matt was awesome! He really takes the time to learn your angles and what will bring out your best features. He is very detailed with his lighting and makes you feel comfortable enough to let go and be in the moment. The edited pictures came back absolutely stunning.

I had a phenomenal experience working with Matt. He went above and beyond to take photos for my brand shoot. From inception, he had a vision to help make the photos as eye-catching and on-brand as possible. The actual photoshoot was a delightful experience. From the small touches of offering delicious coffee at the beginning of the shoot, to being incredibly supportive and giving great direction as the photographer - I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.

This was my son’s first time having his headshots taken and Matthew helped him feel entirely at ease within minutes. The results were superb! Our agency was thrilled with Matthew’s work. The only difficult part of the process was choosing what shots to go with - they were all so good! Our next headshots will be done by Matt and that’s the highest praise I can give.
