Matt Stephany is a photographer from Rochester, NY, currently based in Portland, ME studying at the Maine College of Art. Inspired by visions within dreams, near death experiences, and mankind's tendencies of creating barriers between themselves and the wild, they create worlds and experiences with paper and light that connect to landscape photography. Stephany aims to create temporary scenes that only exist in the moment it was photographed. By enshrining the seemingly unimportant or frivolous parts of life within their pieces, the audience is given time to reflect on these moments. Images made by Stephany transform into myth to find their way into the lives of the audience.
