As a Unit Still photographer, Matt has also worked on TV shows such as Outrageous Pumpkins (Food Network), Critter Fixer's (Disney), and Secret Celebrity Renovation (CBS), and is a member of the IATSE Local 600. He is available for working on both union and non-union shows and films.

When he's not on assignment, Matt can be found cheering on his favorite soccer team, Arsenal FC, or indulging his passion for vintage comic books. In fact, he's one of the few people in the world to hold an original copy of the 1984 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 first print and a few other books dating back to the late 1800s!

Matt is available for assignments both domestically and internationally, and always keeps his passport ready. Contact him today to capture your next project with his unique and captivating style.
