Latest Series: In The Moment
On August 25, 2025, I documented a landmark moment in Chicago Sky history: the retirement of Candace Parker’s jersey. A proud Chicago native, Parker was honored in an emotional ceremony celebrating her extraordinary career and lasting influence on the game. The atmosphere inside the arena was filled with pride, gratitude, and hometown energy as her #3 jersey was lifted to the rafters. These images reflect the significance of that night and the enduring legacy Parker continues to hold in Chicago sports.

About Matt
I’m a photographer based in the Greater Chicago Area, bringing authentic, high-energy moments to life. My work spans courtside action during the WNBA season, electrifying live performances, intimate portraits, lifestyle sessions, and travel photography. Whether capturing stories across Chicago and Milwaukee or exploring destinations around the world, I focus on genuine emotion, atmosphere, and connection.
From championship sports and live concerts to portraits and adventures abroad, every project is guided by storytelling, emotion, and personality, resulting in images that leave a lasting impression. Using Lightroom and Photoshop, I refine each image to enhance its best qualities while maintaining a natural, true-to-life look.
I love collaborating with clients who value photography that stands out and tells a genuine story.
