About Matthew Adams


Hello, I'm Matt! I have a deep appreciation for nature, art, and people. My journey into photography as a career was fueled by a desire to assist others in illuminating their unique light, both for themselves and the world. Join me in capturing moments that celebrate your inner light.


Creative passion

I first embarked on my photography journey around 8 years ago. I initially jumped into photography to artistically capture my travels (I love a good road trip). As time passed, I expanded my lens to capture everything from stars and cityscapes to architecture and people.

I still love capturing a lot of those subjects, but I realized that some of my most fulfilling photos were those focusing on the special moments of human connection. I believe these moments are an expression of the light within humanity.

This is why I've chosen to portray that light (Lumen) and connection (Link) through my photography.

 The world may not be perfect, but it's full of perfect moments, and I want to capture and share as many of these as I can before my journey is over. I'd be thrilled if you could join me on this adventure.


Background

I've always called Austin my home, but my fiance and I love to travel. One of our favorite spots is Big Bend and sleeping on a beach in Olympic NP is next on the bucket list. I'm a little silly and try not to take life too seriously. When I'm not behind my lens you can find me hanging out with my fiance and 2 dogs, eating tacos, hiking, or connecting with friends. I firmly believe that compassion, empathy, and love are the keys to a better life and a better world.

"Matt is a joy to work with! He made our family feel at ease right away and was so good at working with a wiggly little girl. He did a great job of just going with the moments and capturing us authentically and organically."

My husband is usually not fond of taking pictures, but Matthew made the experience so that we never felt forced into posing for a picture - it felt natural and spontaneous. His passion for photography speaks through his work.

(Matt) is so talented that I didn't even know he was taking photos. He let everything happen naturally but captured all the perfect moments that I wanted, but was unable to voice. Matt is also calm and easy to be around to the point you feel like you are with an old friend.
