About
Matthew Holley
I'm a Chicago-based visual creative with a background that spans photography, 3D design, drone cinematography, and brand design. I started shooting in my early twenties and never really stopped.
Most of my work lives at the intersection of precision and atmosphere — I care about the geometry of a frame as much as the feeling it carries. Whether I'm photographing a couple on their wedding day or building a photo-realistic render for a developer's pitch deck, the standard is the same: it has to be unmistakably good.
I'm also the founder of Holley Studio, where I help companies build AI-powered workflows and creative systems. Both sides of the work inform each other.
