Mathew McGraw
Hi!
My name is Mathew McGraw (well now you know who I am, time to click off the page!) I am the Photographer of M2 (squared) ProStudios. I have been taking photos for over nine years and I am currently working as a Commerical and Marketing Photographer and Producer in Arizona.
I have one goal -
"To walk away with a picture, a story... and maybe a small snack!"
My job as a photographer is not to take images, but to create them (which requires too many trees to be sacrificed for my paperwork). I love working with people from all walks of life and backgrounds who can rely on me to create the vision they had in their minds (while adding Mathew flare. and Jazz Hands). I specialize in Studio work with an emphasis on studio lighting that creates crisp and clean images with beautiful colors.
My ability to take studio lighting outside of the studio and merge it with ambient has helped me to create powerful lifestyle images that can be used for a wide variety of advertisement needs (and I still forget to bring sunscreen to these shoots!)
Finally, my main goal when working is to walk away with images but also memories. I love to create personal connections on my sets that don’t end once the job is done. Creating that connection with my assistance, models, art directors, and locals involved in the shoot allows me to work not just for a team but with one. (I am not saying we will be best friends by the end, but you will be invited to my wedding…so…)
