I believe photos and video are meant to do more than look good. Visuals must make the viewer feel something. They spark emotions, build trust, and move audiences to take action. That’s why I do what I do. I use photography and video as a language of connection and to help brands and people tell beautiful stories that matter.

I’m Matt Shogun, a commercial, lifestyle, beauty, and fashion photographer based in Salt Lake City and available worldwide. My work is driven by energy, connection, and authenticity. I capture real people, real moments, and real styles so that your visual and media will get noticed by drawing in the view and leaving them wanting more.

Over the years, I’ve learned that photography and video aren’t just about light or lenses, it’s all about people. Every frame starts with understanding what a brand or person values, and what they want their audience to feel. Whether I’m shooting a high production campaign, a lifestyle commercial, a fashion editorial, or beauty products, my goal is always to create something honest, stunning, and unforgettable.

With experience across the commercial landscape, editorials, and creative direction, I’ve found success in telling the right story for the right audience.

Based in Salt Lake City, I collaborate with brands, agencies, and artists across the U.S. and internationally. I’ve shot in major markets like New York, Miami, and some of the most prized Los Angeles studios and sets, as well as in remote locations, from the high mountains to breathtaking beaches, to remote desert landscapes.

If you’re ready to create visuals that move people then please feel free to email me or call me. Let’s make something bold, beautiful, and unforgettable.
