Welcome to BrightPixel Photography!

My name is Matt Wiater and I specialize in informal available light photography. This is a documentary style capturing spontaneous moments within the environment, rather than a studio setting. I adjust my shooting techniques and equipment to make use of the available light, rather than relighting the setting. This technique allows me to capture the unique lighting of the scene and present it as part of the final image without interrupting the emotion of the action. Of course, not all situations provide enough light, so I am prepared to relight the subject or scene using traditional studio lighting and flash units if necessary.

Though I’m not limited to these, my photography falls mostly within these categories: business photography, sports photography, music photography, event photography, product photography, and both family portraits and child portraits. For child and family portraits, I can simply meet you at your favorite location such as a park or any spot where your child feels most comfortable. Whether they like to get muddy or just sit and read with you, I believe that the best photographs come from settings that you are familiar with, rather than in a studio. By creating this attachment to memory, the photographs become much more powerful!

Over the past two years, my photography has been featured in over 40 publications, including magazines, billboards, and several online publications.
