“Magic Wand”

I’m excited to share my latest work from this past winter. It’s my favorite season to photograph locally and somehow I managed to make a full collection this year. Head over to my site if you wanna see it in its entirety.

“Impressions”

“The ability to look deeply is the root of creativity.
To see past the ordinary and mundane and get to what might otherwise be invisible.”
- Rick Rubin

"Lusterings"

Sunlight reflected from the surfaces of grasses in a coastal wetland. A chaotic scene I’d like to think I brought some order to by allowing the shadows to fall to black and the highlights to dance across the frame.

"Layered Meaning"

“As certain as weather coming from the west, the things people know for sure will change.
There is no knowing for a fact. The only dependable things are humility and looking.” -Richard Powers, The Overstory

My new collection is now up on my website (mattredfern.com). I’ve also made slight additions and changes to the website overall.

This collection is from a week long trip last fall camping and exploring a section of the Oregon coastline.

I suppose it’s time to post here after lurking on this platform. I’ve been photographing locally this winter and working on a collection of images from a trip to the Oregon coast this past fall. As I’m getting closer to releasing the full collection, I wanted to share an early preview.
