Matt Gustafson has established himself as a Fine Art Photographer, starting out in 2019 after taking classes and working with a professional artist as his mentor. His belief is that a great photo should tell a story and have an emotional impact on the viewer, no matter the subject. Capturing energy is the focal point of his work, whether that’s at a live concert, a wedding or a street scene.

Named Best Vermont Wedding Photographer by Lake Champlain Chocolates in 2022, his approach to photography at weddings is all about shooting moments that embody the feeling and energy of the entire event. His passion for music makes working with musicians and shooting their live shows or promotional photos a rewarding part of his career. His process is to dive deeply into an artist’s music, find their identity and present it to them in their photos.

Growing up near Lake Champlain, Matt spent most of his childhood outdoors in the woods and today this habit continues only now he brings his camera with him. In his spare time, you can find him in a flow state hunting for fine art landscapes, a slice of life in a city, or the perfect light for a portrait. Above all, he aims to take viewers of his work on a journey, even if just for a few moments.
