Matthew Lacy

Photographer

I am by no means a professional, but I like to think I can still take a good picture every once in a while. I first got into photography in the 5th grade, when I entered images into the county fair's contest. In 7th grade I had an image showcased at the state fair, despite the fact that most of my images then weren't any good. It's been a long road to where I'm at, and I hope to keep improving. My most frequent subjects are my cats, but for my portfolio, I tend to focus on wildlife and lego minifigures. I enjoy shooting sports; that hasn't happened much this year. I tend to gravitate toward simpler compositions in my work.

Beyond photography, I am a published author, knowledge addict, and all-around nerd. I love to read and write, and I hope to teach English one day. Oftentimes I get called a Grammar Nazi; I am trying to work on that. I am a proud Christian, and have supplied photos for my local church's website.
