i had such an amazing time taking photographs of matt.  for one thing, it is always inspiring for me to watch young musicians trying to make it in the industry. that and also matt is just a super cool guy.  he told me he has been playing trumpet for as long as he can remember.  when we first met matt, tif and i both said he had a look of determination in his eyes.  I meet and see a lot of models/actors/musicians in this crazy business.  some have made it, others try something else but I believe that matt, at only 19 years old, will make it.  his goal: to be a world class trumpet player!

we decided to run around to different locations in oakville shooting photos downtown, in back alley ways which make the best places for photography and of course one of my fav’s – the downtown oakville .  matt really wanted his pictures fresh creative and different.  so he put the lifeimages photographers to the challenge. we normally shoot weddings and portraits but it is nice to switch it up once and a while with the odd headshot or portfolio stuff.

the next couple of photos where taken in a little restaurant in downtown oakville (which by the way had a great lunch martini)!!  all the images where shot with the nikon d3 +  f/1.4 50 mm nikon lens…

thanks matt for given me the best musician photos I’ve ever taken.

oakville has the best portrait photography locations.

i hope these headshots really beef up your portfolio matt!  good luck with everything, we wish you all the very best.  can’t wait to see you on stage!

great musician pictures matt!
