Matt McKee, photographer, creator, story teller

About Matt McKee: Concepts - First, Last and Always!

I am a conceptual guy. I love words but prefer the impact of a strong visual to convey so much more nuance.

I’m a story teller who has been weaving tales with lens and lights, since being handed my first Polaroid zip camera at the age of 7. At some point, I added a mouse to the mix.

As a professional photographer, I have created images and photo illustrations for e-comm, editorial, corporate and advertising imagery.

I have dedicated my practice to creating visual concepts to drive whatever genre you are involved in and turn a photograph into a great story telling device to meet and exceed your goals.

My defining principle behind image making is that a photograph’s “moment of truth” is more often crafted and planned than happened upon.

From a “simple”, clean executive portrait to a complex, multi layered photo manipulation, it all starts with a solid understanding of why we are creating the photograph in the first place.

And, I thrive on collaborating with people who hold different perspectives, and shared goals.

Let’s get started.
