"Patronage is the support, encouragement, privilege, or financial aid that an organization or individual bestows to another..."

Now more than ever, artists across the globe are struggling to maintain the financial support to pursue art for sake of art. How can you support artists?  Buy a piece of existing artwork, commission an exclusive piece or artwork, or donate money to an artist you respect.

Lauren + JP - The Wedding Video

I'm so pleased to post my first wedding music video! Lauren and JP could not have been a better fit as far as artistic collaborators go.  Their creative sensibilities are wide ranging, and they immediately grasped the concept of what I wanted to, which was to create a music video more-so than a wedding video.  Granted, the subject matter is their wedding.  It's simply cut to one of their favorite songs ever.  (Sleepyhead by Passion Pit). 

I'd love to know what you think!

So what about weddings?

I get this question quite often.  Personally, I think shooting weddings, engagements, or lovers in general is amazingly rewarding.  It's an opportunity to shoot an event, or couple, oozing with emotion.  As a maker of images (still or motion), why would I not relish the opportunity?  Yes, I both enjoy and shoot weddings.

Caveat, I enjoy and shoot weddings where my own artistic point of view is welcomed and given free reign.

To that end, I've launched www.rockandrollhearts.com.  This is a site that is dedicated exclusively to photography and video that is more easily grouped into the wedding/engagment/lovebirds bucket.  Check it out...

Matt Odom is now based in L.A.!

Exciting news! After 4 wonderful years working in Atlanta and honing my craft, and artistic aesthetic, I've relocated to L.A.  I'm still available for travel and work based on the East Coast (particularly Atlanta, NYC, and Miami Beach), but I'll be calling L.A home now.  

Stay tuned for more updates and news!

Atlanta to L.A - 2000 miles in 4 minutes.

I mounted a 7D to my dash and shot my whole trip from Atlanta to L.A.  I have to admit that I think I got better at controlling the exposure, frame rate, and general process about the second day into the four day trip.  Definitely check out the thunderstorms I drove through in New Mexico towards the end of the video.  Very cool stuff!
