New Face – Emma

New, fresh, excited, and ready to rock the camera,  Emma came into the studio with an amazing energy and excitement. She was ready to dive in, head first, and show what she could do.  A young beauty indeed, she was poised in front of the camera with intense eyes staring deep into the lens.  Tall and thin, with legs that stretch a mile and back and perfect pin straight hair, Emma has the perfect look for a fresh model ready to take on the world.

I have to admit, with each new face I shoot for the Matthew Agency, the more I am convinced that I truly DO have the best talent in West Michigan.  Such unbelievable guys and gals here, with such raw potential and energy.  I have said it before, but I will say it again, I can’t wait to see what Emma, and the rest of these amazing faces at the Agency can do! Enjoy! – JM

New Face – Nathan

A confident attitude, a killer smile, stunning good looks.  Nathan has all of these, and all at the age of 16.  He is only just beginning to explore his potential as a model (of which there is an abundance).  This was his first time in front of a camera, and he took to it very naturally.

With Nathan joking and laughing with me the entire time, the photo shoot went very smoothly.  The goal; capture amazing images of this new talent and have fun doing it!  We tried a new location in my building; the freight elevator.  Turns out, it is a great location to shoot!

I look forward to seeing where this new model’s confidence takes him.  We’re excited to have him with the Matthew Agency, and excited to share this new face with you!  Enjoy!  -JM

A Perfect Day – Part II

This next and final half of the Perfect Day pictorial was shot on that same strangely warm November day in Ohio.  Anthony VonBargen, seen here in the Industrial Wonderland series, met me at the same wonderful barn as model AJ Kessler.  With a bright warm sky above, and a phenomenal location… not to mention a stunning model, I was able to knock out more spectacular images.

I honestly cannot wait for spring to arrive so I can get back out into the open world and shoot more fantastic photo series for you all to enjoy.  I hope this post will bring you warm thoughts as we get closer to that time!  Enjoy!  -JM
