Today I talk with Matt Costello in the studio. A fan of his underrated work for a while, Matt really showed us where his style and voice emanate from in his artwork, helping him transform negative core beliefs and take the path of healing through his creativity.

Have you ever felt like an experience or a passion completely altered the trajectory of your life? Matt, a photographer with an incredible story of transformation, shares how his journey behind the lens has been a powerful force of change. From capturing the raw emotions and stories that punctuate human life to finding personal salvation through the click of a shutter, his tale is one of passion, healing, and self-discovery. We traverse the globe from the scenic views of New Zealand and the reality show of Project Runway to the vibrant streets of Cologne, discussing the transformative power of people, art and the challenges of intertwining one's creative passion with the practicalities of running a business.

Matt opens up about his own struggles with trauma and how embracing feminine energy through his work brought about a sense of healing. By fostering authentic connections and trust with his subjects, he crafts images that go beyond the surface, capturing the essence of strength and vulnerability. It's a heartfelt discussion on the emotional impact of photography and the delicate process of creating art that respects and uplifts the human spirit.

Thanks again to Matt for sharing his journey and vulnerabilities that he has carried throughout.
