Hello and thank you for visiting my site.

I’m Matthew McIntosh, a Minnesota-based commercial photographer and “creative country boy”. I grew up wandering the dirt roads of Wyoming with my camera, using it as a tool to document a region of the country most people normally haven’t seen or really thought about. To me, it was magic and it was pure inspiration. During my professional time there, I worked 5 years as a videographer for NBC, using that experience to hone my visual storytelling skills while studying fine art photography. I eventually moved around the country from Wyoming to Colorado, Florida, Idaho, and New York City (part of being a Wyoming boy is having a healthy sense of wanderlust… it’s my inner roaming cowboy). Eventually I ended up in Minneapolis, MN. After finishing my BFA in Photography at the Art Institute of Minnesota, my career in commercial/editorial photography began.

“There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer,” said Ansel Adams. (Somebody else said never start a paragraph with a quote, but we’ll ignore them.) While traveling those dirt roads of the high plains in my youth, I realized that life isn't a solo journey but a shared experience. I feel the same way when it comes to creating images with my clients and viewers. My focus as a photographer is to collaboratively tell a story, because we’re in this shared experience together. Working with my clients creates a new layer in each image, giving more depth to the story being told with the viewer.

Let's talk about our future stories.

Have worked with:
