Welcome to Meta Collective

I am a travel, portrait and commercial photographer from New York City, best known for my fun, silly and (I hope) informative YouTube Videos. Beyond all that - I am in love with the click of the shutter.

Tired of the negativity, spam, data abuse and torrent of 3rd party advertising on mainstream social media?!?   ME TOO! 

In this community we are all about Photography - sharing, discussing & supporting each other. This is a positive and supportive site where you can ask questions, share ideas and images, and if you want it - get feedback on your photos.

I want to bring the best, most supportive, inspiring and passionate people from the other network I have fostered, and come together without the spam, negativity and trolling.

Why is it called the Meta Collective? Well Collective as it is a coming together of passionate people. Meta - as in it is all about Photography - its by, for, comprised of and to inspire photographers. Also, Meta-Data kind of has a double meaning. And, I just thought it sounds kind of cool :)

By working together we can create a positive place for sharing and inspiring each other on our journey into photography.

As a member of The Meta Collective, We want you to get immediate value from being here. That’s why We’re aiming to offer five simple things:

• Meet people who share your interests, who care about the same topics and are keen to engage.

• Make better, more well-informed decisions about gear, technique and shooting scenarios by talking directly with fellow photographers

• Swap stories, experiences, and ideas and find inspiration, start thought-provoking conversations, and get expert perspective.

• Finally, get exclusive offers and exclusive image critiques from Matt and the community, only available to members of this site
