Matt Hamon is a freelance portrait photographer who lives in rural Montana. His photography exists conceptually and aesthetically in the spaces between photojournalism and staged editorial imagery. Matt hails from a small, remote town in Northern California. A sense of place informed by wandering the woods as a child inspires his enquiry. Self-described as "post-rural," Matt currently lives in Potomac, Montana near the Blackfoot River. Matt is a featured artist in Scott Ligon's, "Digital Art Revolution," ( Watson-Guptil/Random House). Matt's work has been featured on CNN, Outside Magazine, The Independent -UK, Lens Culture, LifeFramer, 1 Million Photographers (1MP), 6Mois.fr, Stern.de, morphyne.com, Edge of Humanity, Don't Take Pictures, and Month of Photography, Los Angeles (MOPLA). Matt was a finalist for the 2016 edition of "Nera di Verzasca Award," winner of the Diaframmi Chiusi Photography Prize, and IPHA 5 (Manifest's International Photography Annual). Matt recently had two portraits featured in the 2016 edition of the Taylor Wessing Prize at the National Portrait Gallery, London, UK.
