ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Strongtree Images is owned and operated by Matthew J. Siegelbaum, a native New Yorker, born in the Bronx and raised on Long Island.
I graduated from St. Joseph’s College with a degree in Education and Minor in Art, but will always be a student. "If you don't seek to learn something new, you cease to grow as an artist". I grew up with a camera in my hand, grabbing shots of anything and anyone that caught my eye. Fifteen years ago, I started honing my craft shooting accident scenes, public gatherings, and “in the moment events”. Through word of mouth I began photographing family parties, portraits and then weddings. Candid photos became my calling card and things took off from there.
Photography has always allowed my to explore my creative side, seeking out details that others overlook. I prefer on location shoots and take a photojournalistic approach to capture the life and energy of the people and environments that I photograph.
When a photo can “speak for itself, and tell its own story”, I know I’ve succeeded in exposing the spirit of my subjects.
I am available to Photograph Special Occasions and Events, On Location & Photojournalistic Assignments, Portraits, Fine Art and Discreet.
I use state of the art, super-high resolution Canon digital cameras.
I do not use large strobe and flash setups which tend to be more of an eyesore than a benefit. At all times, I try to pack lightly and travel quietly so that I may capture the most spontaneous photographs without interfering with the moment.
