More about Matt O....

What do you love about your job?

I love the creativity of shooting. I get to design the layout in my camera utilizing the foundations of design, and then I get to bring my own creativity through the advanced capabilities of my equipment, the physical interaction between myself and the subject (animate and inanimate alike) and the creative freedom of the editing software in the finishing process.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

Senior Photos can be fun because you've got to get what can sometimes be a pretty awkward young human to step out of their shell. Many people don't feel natural in front of a camera and so breaking that ice and pulling out their inner-personality is often the most exciting and rewarding part.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

I've been published about a dozen times in local magazines but I've never been honored or recognized for it. However, I did create a photography business that broke an annual $1 Million dollar mark after only 6 years! I felt that was quite the achievement! :)

A fun fact about this photographer

My first degree was in Theater. I've been in 26 Plays and played the part of Billy The Kid on both the History Channel and the Discovery Chanel.
