spotlight magazine Mar 2024 portraiture & celebrity photography
New Mexico: Michael Matsil
"For over 25 years, I have been a commercial photographer who is concerned with where I am. The 'where' in life interests me profoundly. Place is a reflection of our common humanity. We shape it and in turn it shapes our thoughts, outlook and motivation.
In my world, the photography of Place encompasses all photography. My interpretive process begins by gathering within the camera frame the specific nature of color, materiality and atmosphere. It culminates in an uncluttered scene that communicates a sense of clarity around the nature of person, place and context. It's 'truth made visible'.
That's what I offer my clients: honesty, clarity and meaning."

Born in the American West, this world is hardly foreign to Julien, who has lived in California, Colorado, and now New Mexico for the past 16 years. “I have the West in my blood,” she says, and she has the portfolio to prove it.
Julien is a rare breed in the industry; she has extensive executive-level business experience in the corporate and non-profit worlds. She is used to wearing many hats and brings this knowledge and commitment to her photography career.
