About

Jerrad Matthew is a fashion photographer currently living in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

I consider myself to be a creative and passionate individual. I am a photographer, a retoucher, and creative genius (well, at least a pretty darn creative guy).   I taught myself photography and developed my own eye.  I have picked up knowledge along the way by working with and for many great photographers, but have always leaned on my own unique perspective to set myself apart.    I continue to strive to better myself and my art, to sharpen my skill, to improve my style, to create stunning images.

Through the medium of photography I am able to truly push the bounds of my creativity.  I can express the sexy fringe of my personality through my edgy, unique fashion images.  I’ll admit there is some kind of power trip in creating an entire world in a single frame, and bringing that world to life in an alluring way that stimulates my viewer. For over 9 years I have been shoving my energy, my heart, my soul, into these boxes of pixels.  I truly hope my passion shows through to you, the viewer, and I hope you enjoy!  – JM
