There are many different aspects and subject matter that interest me in my field - my place on MM is about helping my clients enhance their portfolios, gain experience, connect with others and gain the recognition they need and deserve in order to help achieve their desired outcome for their careers.

The three most critical and problematic aspects of working with photographers as through what I have learned from many of you here on MM are the following:

1. TF* which benefits the photographer more then it benefits you.

2. Making connections with the right people: from photographers,  MUA’s, stylists, even other models that work as hard as you do.  Finding and working only with professionals that only work on paid assignments and believe all artists should get paid for what they do.

3.Connecting with people that will only refer you on to trusted sources and being able to reciprocate this with confidence.

I know that as a photographer I am in the service business - part of my photography is about working with each client to help them achieve what they need to grow a successful and fulfilling career. My work consists of coaching, building relationships, sharing my knowledge of the industry and making connections for those who are passionate about their craft and truly want to pursue modeling as a career.  It means establishing concepts that result in commercial imagery that work for you within your target market.

The experience I want to provide for you is an atmosphere where you take away new knowledge, become energized to continue working and take your next shoot to a new level - I also want to help you feel relaxed so that you can be as creative as possible to the point that you demand this out of everyone you work with.

Bottom line in reference to item #1 above: I want to help reverse this situation so that if a photographer wants to work with you - you are compensated each and every time.

A little more about me:

I feel completely comfortable in front of others with my little quirks and allow myself to express myself freely and without worry.

And as far as comfort level in my business:

I shoot with digital cameras. I know they may become obsolete next year.  While some may believe in the need to buy a new camera every time something “better” comes out, I am not pressed to do so. I am not pressed because I understand that my creativity will never become obsolete and ultimately people come to me for my work ethic, my style, and the experience my clients take away from working with me.

I do not believe in hustling for business and I don’t want your business or career to fall into this realm either.

I have extensive agency experience (15 years) in public relations, graphic design, and post-production for commercial imagery and photographic works. I have provided not only imagery, and design but guidance to the other designers I have worked with.  I can provide you the full package.

I am a Professional Member of the AIGA and my business lives and breathes through their Standards of Professional Practice. I adhere to these guidelines as they have saved me many times in business and I am not willing to risk my credentials under any circumstance.

It is my promise and obligation that if you are a client of mine I am going to work with you beyond the shoot or a single portfolio image.

I understand that there are a million other things you could be doing right now other than looking at my photographs or reading my profile. Thank you very much for your time. Your interest is greatly appreciated.

Ciao,
Matty
