Matt Szymankowski
 

I've always loved creating art. The opportunity to explore photography appeared via a help wanted ad in Boston. This turned into 3 years working beside Martha Stewart. Not the Martha Stewart -- but a great photographer with the same name, who was kind enough to give me my first real camera and a valuable introduction to the craft.

I moved to Oakland to focus on photography (by way of Southern California where I taught children about blues music and American Folk Art).

Over the past 15 years I have enjoyed collaborating with many different companies, on many different independent projects, and numerous talented Stylists, Art Directors, and Producers. My work mainly includes: product, portrait, and street photography. I also enjoy sharing my abstract, fine art images.

These days I can be found shooting for Gap, Old Navy, and Pottery Barn – as well as startups, talented local artists, and portraits for various clients. I welcome the opportunity to work with you!
