With over two decades of experience in the studio and lecture hall, Matt has taught photography in the MFA programs at Syracuse University and Visual Studies Workshop, as well as at Ithaca College, and has taught history courses across academia. Matt’s creative process is deeply rooted in the visual intricacies of time-informed research, ephemeral visual exploration, and location studies, framed within a loose documentary-style framework.

His photobooks Iroquoia (2007) and Recollection (2011), published by Visual Studies Workshop Press, are included in the VSW's Independent Press and Artist Book Collection.
