Matt McKee

Matt McKee's photographic works, described by many as both painterly and cinematic, are very technical, while maintaining an often whimsically dark conceptual side. When he was seven, the gift of a polaroid camera began the creative process.

Not satisfied with simply documenting the world around him, he quickly learned to create his own worlds where he could place his subjects and influence our perceptions.

"I am motivated by light and its absence, the subversive idea, and by point of view. I am fascinated by the willing suspension of belief and

the malleability of perception that we bring to an image. And, I love creating something that is both very technical and its polar opposite. That one-two punch that hits both the mind and the heart."

A graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology and a 25+ year veteran in the marketing world, his award-winning images have been shown and collected worldwide.
