ABOUT

Thanks so much for taking the time to view my work. I am very blessed to do what I love for a living. It has been an exciting, interesting ride these past decades. The word "variety" doesn't begin to describe my career of shooting politicians, rock stars, shamans, swimsuit models, explorers, authors, athletes, and ballerinas. There is always a story to tell. Even some seemingly mundane shoots still require that I problem solve, improvise and make the images compelling. I have done it with fire breathers but it's also possible to have an image of an accountant stop you in your tracks.

When working with client, I really make an effort to listen. I want to know exactly what needs to be conveyed. If the image on the back of my camera doesn't translate, then I still have work to do. I will work for you until the image tells the story . . .

What is YOUR story?

"Mathew Sturtevant is not just an exceptional photographer, he is a creative professional who genuinely understands how to tell the client's story with his work. I have collaborated with Mathew on many different projects and his work is both consistent and innovative. My company is always pleased with the quality of his work and therefore turns to him for the most important projects. Not only is Mathew's work outstanding, his attitude and work ethic go above and beyond, time after time."

Kevin Welch : Musician
"I wanted to write you one-on-one to let you know the odd but powerful impact these photos have on me.  Your photos of me . . . they seemed honest and transparent.  It was a surprising shoot.  You are gifted."
John Dee Graham : Musician
"Working with Mathew rarely feels like work. His playful nature makes even the most difficult situations seem like fun without sacrificing professionalism, quality or concept."
Amanda Pounds : Art Director/Surrey Inc

"What a truly talented artist he is. Part mad scientist, part holy man, and part Jerry Lewis, Mathew is a one of a kind, and I envy his unique way of seeing things. Not only is he a phenomenal photographer, but he's the kind of guy you wanna hang out with."
