Minneapolis Event Photographers

I’m Matthew McIntosh, a Minnesota-based commercial photographer and “creative country boy”. I grew up wandering the dirt roads of Wyoming with my camera, using it as a tool to document a region of the country most people usually haven’t seen or really thought about. To me, it was magic and it was pure inspiration. During my professional time there, I worked 5 years as a videographer for NBC, using that experience to hone my visual storytelling skills while studying fine art photography. I eventually moved around the country from Wyoming to Colorado, Florida, Idaho, and New York City (part of being a Wyoming boy is having a healthy sense of wanderlust… it’s my inner roaming cowboy). Eventually, I ended up in Minneapolis, MN. After finishing my BFA in Photography at the Art Institute of Minnesota, my career in commercial/editorial photography began.
