What to Expect
Ready to take your photography to the next level?
Join Matt of MCC Photography for an exclusive, hands-on workshop designed to help photographers create stunning, professional images with confidence. Known for his signature reflection shots created entirely in-camera and his timeless yet distinctive style, Matt has built a reputation for producing incredible results straight out of the camera using strategic off-camera flash techniques.
Rather than relying heavily on post-processing, Matt’s philosophy is simple: create the image correctly from the start. During this immersive workshop, he’ll share the lighting techniques, shooting methods, creative approaches, and editing workflow that have helped define his work and set him apart.
Hosted by Megan Papachristou Photography in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, this intimate workshop is limited to just 10 attendees, ensuring plenty of one-on-one instruction, personalized feedback, and opportunities to ask questions throughout the experience.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your lighting skills, improve your confidence with off-camera flash, or learn how Matt creates his signature images, this workshop is designed to provide practical knowledge you can immediately apply to your own photography.
