Now based in Malaysia, Matt and his family have lived in Asia for much of the past 15 years.

My Thoughts:

I have been following his site for over a year now.  His work with NGOs doing humanitarian photography is something I aspire to do myself one day and his photography is some of the best.  What separates him from others I think is the photography of people he does and the video slide shows he produces.  Both are always well made and worth a look.  He is a major reason why I created the “Faces Series” and why I bought a Zoom to record voices and sounds.  I’m hoping one day I will be able to bring the Faces Series up a level or two.  It’s photographers like him that keep me motivated to try new things, not give up and always be expanding my skills.
