From an early age, Matt has had two passions, photography and hip-hop. He was given his first camera at six and showed an early interest and talent for still and video photography. Throughout his training, Matt’s interest in capturing the essence of the personality has been his focal point. His introduction in hip-hop began in the early eighties with his interest and ability in break-dancing and later mixing. While attending the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, and until the present time, he was fortunate to work with a number of the most famous photographers in the world such as Bruce Weber and Aldo Rossi III. Their mentoring has given him inspiration, technique and experience. Matt Dean has traveled extensively and interacted with many kinds of subjects, unique backgrounds and varied situations. He has experience in the organization of large-scale photo projects here and abroad. He also has a unique and talented eye in selecting one of a kind image. His photographs have been shown in numerous galleries, private venues and events as well as appearing in numerous publications. Much of his work has been in fashion and portraiture, which has led to his interest in photographing personalities and a passion to uniquely immortalize them. He has experienced both sides of the camera, as he has also modeled for many companies, such as Banana Republic, Coca Cola and Hermés. For Hip-Hop Immortals, Matt Dean has created a unique and close collaboration of the artist and photographer. He had the mission to immortalize the artist by finding their individual and unique human quality, and mesh this with what has made them an immortal artist. Matt Dean has exclusively photographed for Hip-Hop Immortals, a few of the immortals that will be appearing in the book. < < Click on an Immortal Photographer.
