This NYU/Tisch School alum is typically busy making the impossible possible -- that, or he's spending quality time with his partner and fur baby Ralphie.

Matthew was raised in a DIY household in Atlanta: fixing, building, and improvising everything from plumbing to skateboard ramps. This DIY approach allows him to rethink the tools for solving visual and mechanical challenges. Matthew loves working with the crew at The Garage, where he speaks the same language of pneumatics, electronics, lighting, timing, and robotics.

This SCAD alum also excels in fashion & lifestyle photography, and you also can find her scouring the city for the next best NY aura.

Green at the Garage

While we love what we do, we recognize that our industry takes a huge toll on our (only) planet. We’ve partnered with caterers, shelters, climate organizations, and scientists to minimize our carbon footprint... and we don't charge an arm and a leg to do it. Our sets are green but for the fraction of the price when compared to your standard “green set." Being green and doing good shouldn't be cost prohibitive. Our plans are fully integrated into the way we work already, because, well… we care. The impact is huge and the cost is small.

Green at The Garage is one of the first of its kind;

an initiative that holds us accountable with actionable

items that minimally affect the price tag.

Here are just a few things we’re doing:

Outfitted with water taps, we’ve eliminated single-use water bottles and utensils entirely.
We’re working with GoClimate to offset our carbon emissions on each and every shoot.
We’ve almost entirely eliminated food waste; partnering with local communities to feed those who need it most (and not our garbage cans!)
We offer an in-studio hydroponic garden that serves as a carbon-positive tool for our food stylists, and even nibbles for our clients and team.

Have questions? Please reach out to halie@the-garage.tv. She’d really love to talk to you about it.

The Studio

The Garage also boasts a state-of-the-art creative space located in Industry City, Brooklyn. The 10,000 sq ft studio is fully-equipped for both photography and film shoots.

Our on-site commercial kitchen has everything you could possibly need, making tabletop and food brand shoots a breeze. Our kitchen is equipped with commercial-grade gas appliances, an Ansul hood, along with multiple refrigerators, freezers, a commercial dishwasher, baker’s racks, and every cooking tool or utensil you could possibly need.

We keep our kitchenette stocked with all sorts of snacks and drinks to make you, your crew, and your clients feel at home. The Garage also has a fully-functioning machine shop; prop room; client lounge areas; and lots and lots of cool gadgets (did we mention Robots?) Our space is there to meet the needs of even the most challenging of projects!
