I shoot for agency books, from clean digitals up to the editorial frames a booker puts on the board the day they land.
What a session includes:
- A planning call before the shoot to set goals and wardrobe
- Two hours of direction on expression and angles
- 10 fully edited images, more available at $75 each
- Proofs within 10 days so you can pick your 10, then final edits a few weeks after that in high-res and web-size files
imagery that works for you professionally
signed or unsigned, you leave with agency-ready images
Built for the book
I build every session around your book. We plan wardrobe before you ever walk in, and I direct you the whole time. Then I edit the gallery the way an agent reads a book, looking for range, looking for the frame that makes them pick up the phone.
Posing matters. It is also the part everyone gets hung up on. A pose is a tool, and without knowing how to work your face and your eyes, every pose just shows a pretty person looking at a camera (great if you want to be a stock photo). The fashion industry wants soul. Wardrobe and light set the story up. Your face and your eyes sell the final image.
"Matt is an amazing photographer!
He's respectful, communicative, and personable. Always flexible to work with and you can tell he puts a lot of effort into continuing his education and understanding of the craft.
As a model, I feel safe shooting with him and know I can always approach with fun, creative ideas and he'll be able to 'yes, and' them."

Frequently asked questions
do i need to be signed?
Signed or unsigned, you are welcome here. Plenty of models book me to build the book they submit with. Signed models come through their agency, and unsigned models book directly.
Do I need modeling experience?
All experience levels are welcome. Direction is part of the session. We work together to find your strongest angles.
what should I wear/bring?
Simple, well-fitted basics in neutral tones. We will plan wardrobe together before the shoot so every look earns its place in your book. Bring things you feel good in.
How long is the session?
Plan for two hours. Digitals alone take about 15 minutes. Trust me, two hours is plenty. Telling a story with your face takes a lot of energy.
How many images will I get?
You get 10 fully edited images. Within 10 days you get a proof gallery to pick your 10, and final edits land a few weeks after that. Each extra image is $75.
How far out should I book?
Sessions usually book a month or more ahead. I also take test trips to other cities, so follow along on Instagram for dates.
can I bring someone?
Yes, always. Agents and chaperones are welcome on set. Anyone under 18 is required to have a guardian there for the whole shoot.
