• Matthew Clark Up-and-coming camera slinger Matthew Clark hails from the Big Apple. Though the digital age has allowed would-be surf photographers to click away at random and hope for the best, Matthew refuses to conform to this trend. “Rather than snapping away, I contemplate the compositions and anticipate the decisive moment - that instant everything works in unity for a second in time - and capture it.” Thirsty for viewers to spend time with his art and observe what is taking place in the scene, Matthew's photographs often include that which you can only see if you truly look. He’s set to begin studies for his Masters of Fine Art in photography starting in Fall 2008, and was recently awarded the prestigious Follow the Light Foundation Grant for 2007. Needless to say, the future looks bright for this talented 24-year old lensman.
