What’s up guys,
As a photographer moving to a new place can really change who and what you’re shooting. Today I shot with Stephaniya. She’s from NYC, but she’s been in LA for the week so we had a chance to link up. In Indiana I’d shoot lots of stuff with an extremely out of focus background, but out here in LA it’s like the whole city is a cool back drop. I only have a few of the shots edited, but here’s a couple shots I liked. More to come soon with some cool backgrounds included. stay tuned.
thanks for checking it out,

Hey guys,
So this post applies to the world, LA, and even more specifically working in film. The thing is that there is someone doing my job right now. There is someone pulling focus on a hollywood film, or photographing a band or model right now and it’s not me. The world has a funny way of carrying on without us. Movies will be made, pictures will be taken whether or not I am involved. So the key to this is just being available. Some of the jobs I’ve gotten was just simply due to someone else getting sick or being unavailable. The truth is that I’m not needed, and most likely neither are you. I’m not trying to be negative, I’m just being honest in saying that the job you want, someone else is doing right now. Unless you’re inventing something or doing something totally different, the work will go on without you. Which can definitely make things difficult to break into, but still well worth trying for. So when or if you get your shot, your call, your email, be the best you can be, and maybe they won’t forget about you for the next job.
Thanks for reading this rant,

Hey guys,
Welcome to the new website. I’ve recently come to the realization that less really is more. This site is super basic, clean and really only focuses on my images. I don’t want people to get hung up on themes, background colors or logos. I just want you to look at my work. So that’s what this site is all about. Let me know what you think!
your photographer filmmaker buddy,
Matt Shouse
