Matthew F. Winn, Photographer/Writer

Matthew hails from Lansing, Michigan where he has enjoyed a thirty year love affair with the unique geography and people of the Great Lakes state. A proud alumni of the Holt Rams, Matthew joined the U.S. Navy straight out of high school where he spent the next six years exploring the world from the deck of the U.S.S. Constellation.


Matthew has an insatiable lust for the Michigan outdoors and spends most of time capturing images all across the state. Although lighthouses and waterfalls are a passion Matthew also enjoys chasing fireworks displays during the summer months. He has extensive knowledge of Michigan's Upper Peninsula wilderness as well as the untamed Pisgah region of the Smoky Mountains.


Matthew has covered such events as Thunder Over Louisville for the Kentucky Derby Festival, Boomsday Over Knoxville, the Mackinaw Bridge 50th Anniversary as well as many others. His photography has also appeared in Michigan History Magazine as well as several online travel sites.


Aside from photography Matthew is also the author of the highly acclaimed novel, The Sandman, which garnered rave reviews throughout the midwest. Matthew's second novel, Circle of Friends, is currently at the printer and will be released sometime in 2008.
