Stop, Take a Breath, Steal a Moment and Take it With You
Aurora over frozen lakes, grizzlies in the Kluane backcountry, and waterfalls in the coastal rain — from Yellowknife to Vancouver Island, and all over western Canada.

Hello — I'm Matt.
I shot for my high school yearbook, and the teacher there told me I had an eye and should keep going. I didn't — not for years.
Moving north is what changed it. I got to Yellowknife and found myself standing under the aurora on clear nights holding a phone that couldn't come close to recording it. Phones still struggle with it now. I wanted my family and friends down south to see what I was seeing, so I bought my first DSLR and started learning the craft in the cold.
That's still the reason. Most of what's here is an attempt to hand somebody else a moment I got to stand in.
Selected work
A few frames I keep coming back to.
The portfolio
There's a lot more where this came from.
One hundred and sixty-odd photographs, sorted into five rooms.
