Hi, I'm Mati
I'm a Chilean with roots in the PNW. I'm a stay-at home dad, coffee addict and stand up paddle aficionado. Catch me on the water...or the playground.
I was 16 when my grandmother got me a Konica Minolta film camera for a school trip. Ever since then I've been documenting my trips and life as a whole. Only a couple years ago I had the strength to jump into full time and make photography my career. My wife was a huge advocate of this as she believed that not only I'd be good at it but I'd also be happy.

My background
I spent years doing all sorts of jobs like avalanche safety in the high Andes, ski instructor for little kids in Whistler BC (I still believe in you Timmy!), outdoor gear specialist and more. In these jobs, whether sharing mate and barbecue with a small mining community or leading a group through Patagonia, I realized I never forgot to pack one thing-my camera.
