Chicago-based photographer, Matthew Gregory Hollis has been working in photography for almost thirty years. Matthew received his Bachelor’s degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and left Ohio in 2000 to get his Masters in Studio Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is currently a freelance photographer for multiple dance and theatre companies from around the city. In his personal work, Matthew merges his love of portraiture with his appreciation for minimalism - not as theory but as a practice. He often avoids the use of professional lighting, opting instead for more playful and creative tools to create a more dynamic portraiture.
