Calling ALL Athletes
Matty Photography is looking for athletes of all styles, shapes, ages, and sizes. Looking for track stars, body builders, tennis players, hoopsters, skateboarders, dancers, rock climbers, baseball players, cyclists, you name it… we wanna hear from you. Matty is looking to capture a unique series of people in their “moment” doing what they love. We are looking for those who push the limit in one way or another, following their passion, excelling at what they do. Using creative lighting, Matt will capture raw moments in time, giving a new perspective of our active lives. “Active” will be a series of photos showcasing the culmination of all your hard work, the human form pushing itself. These won’t be cheesy posing pictures, they will be taken while you are at the peak of your jump, the middle of your swing, the point of your limit. They will be explosive, story-telling shots. We want to hear from you, now!
The Details
Participants will receive a large 12×18 print of the final photo selected for the series, as well as name recognition in the series. Plus you will have a blast during the shoot! Participants will also be granted rights to use the photography for portfolio work if that happens to be your kinda gig. We are NOT looking for models, we want the real deal, so you barbies and pretty boys need not apply unless you have what it takes. This isn’t a person pretending to be something they are not, this needs to be something you truly do on a regular basis. Contributors and sponsors will definitely be recognized for helping this project become a reality.

Hi Matty,
I’m interested in your project. I am a lifelong national class hurdler living in the Seattle area. I was a scholarship athlete at the University of Washington and then as a 48 year old I won the 80m hurdles at the Master’s National Championships in 2005. I’m interested in having a professional photo for my marketing materials.
Sincerely,
Darla

I have played volleyball for just over nine years and would love to be a part of this photo series. There are a lot of explosive movements in this game and they could be really exciting to photograph. Please send me any more info/requests that you have.
Thanks!

Hiya Matty,
Your project sounds like fun and I’m definitely interested. I come from a circus background (Aerial Silks, Hoop, Trapeze, Etc..) with additional skills in handbalancing, tumbling and little bit of contortion.

Hey, it looks like you may be done selecting participants, but I am one of the bellydancers you shot at WCC earlier this year, and I would love to participate in this project. You’ve seen me dance, but as a bit of background I have been dancing for 4 years and I also rock climb if that is of interest to you (I’m a little rusty at that these days, but it comes back quickly). I live in Bellingham but come to Seattle frequently.
