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.
