Lighting master. Collaborative spirit. Set playlist enthusiast.

Matt Sartain is a California-based photographer who believes great images are born from great vibes. With 15+ years behind the lens and an MFA in photography, he thrives in capturing the natural beauty of interiors, lifestyle, and products.

Matt's all hands-on-deck when it comes to lighting; he designs every setup himself. He thrives in the chaos of fast-paced shoots but also enjoys a slow and perfectionist pace when the work calls for it. He's shot for everyone from West Elm to Walmart, and is known as a true collaborator–making sure the whole crew feels empowered to create something exceptional together.
