Mike Matthews Photography

Hi and welcome to Mike Matthews Photography. Thank you for taking time to visit my web site. My hope is that you will find it enjoyable, informative, and inspirational.

As a photographer, my passion and desire has always been to create images that are exciting to see and ones that you will want to tell your friends and family about. I started my love for photography over thirty five years ago and have been shooting professionally for over eight years. Nature photography is my passion, but being in the business of wholesale distribution of ceramic tile and natural stone for over thirty years has allowed me to showcase many beautiful projects. With the privilege of working closely with designers, general contractors, architects and many home builders, I have learned what it takes to put my customer's "best image first".
My web site is divided into two categories. First is the Nature and Outdoor section, showcasing all the wonders of the great outdoors. Next will be the Commercial section, showcasing many beautiful architectural projects along with images that have been used for web site design. So, if you are a person who enjoys wildlife, I am available for individual instruction. If you are in need of images to showcase your business, I also offer a full freelance photography service to provide quality images for web site design or publication use. I feel truly blessed that God has given me a gift that has allowed me to follow my dream.

Thanks again for taking a moment to visit my web site, and may God Bless you in all that you do.

Sincerely
Mike Matthews

Guestbook for Mike Matthews Photography

Mike, Thank you for your great presentation and sharing your knowledge with the class today. You are a great photographer and speaker. I learned a lot today and plan to start using it on my next shoot. I hope to meet up with you again in the near future. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge and work.
Ron.

Mike, I just wanted to say thanks. I was in your nature photography class today and it was amazing! Your work is beautiful and it was a pleasure to hear all of your stories. You are so inspiring! God Bless!

16.Suzanne H.(non-registered)

Mike, I found your website through Murphy's Camera Store on Shelbyville Rd. They were singing your praises. I may come to your class next weekend. I enjoy looking through your photographs. I have been to a lot of the same places and have very similar photos. I especially like your website. It is very classy & professional looking. I had someone start one for me, but it really needs a lot of work to match up to a site like yours. I would enjoy chatting with you, or meeting you to get some tips from you. I just started seriously doing photography about 3 years ago. I have been published in Birds and Blooms a couple of times as well as the local co-op electric company magazine, and the Courier Journal. I really don't know anything about lighting, etc (all of the technical stuff) I just know when I see something if it would make a good shot or not. It's been like that for me for many years, but just didn't explore seriously like I said until about 3 years ago. Again, enjoyed looking through your photo gallery. Perhaps we will meet one day & share some ideas. Best regards, Jules
