About
I'm a DP who owns a small rental company. I care about the whole picture. Even the boring parts.
Hey, I’m Mathew — a Pennsylvania-based Director of Photography and creative collaborator working across commercial, branded, and documentary projects.
I love making great images, solving creative challenges, and bringing good people together to make something we're all proud of. Whether it's a big production or a small crew with a big idea, I believe the best work comes from collaboration, a little ingenuity, and having fun along the way.
I also own a small G+E Rental company named Lampcandy, based out of Harrisburg and Philadelphia. We help create vertical integration to make things easier for the overall production.
Outside of production, I'm a husband, dad of two, and usually finding an excuse to get outside, play sports, or chase the next adventure.
