This workshop will be a great opportunity to expand creativity and vision of digital photography for the

In Matthews words “My passion and desire has always been to create images that are exciting to see and ones that you will want to show your friends and family.”

Matthews began his passion for photography over forty years ago when his parents gave him his first Canon camera. As an avid outdoorsman, Matthews utilizes his outdoor skills to get close to wildlife and capture it with stunning photographs. Matthews and the Center hope this program will open the door to others sharing a passion for photography.
