Matt Roy | How To Find The Right Look During Fitness Photoshoots

#091 - Matt Roy is a professional photographer based in Miami,
Florida.  Over the past 15 years, Matt has built two careers
in health, wellness and fitness: as an action sports and
lifestyle photographer and as a personal trainer.
  Matt's fitness career began in 1999 at Crunch.
 Shortly after, he was recruited by David Barton Gym, where
he finished his tenure as Head Trainer.  In 2005, Matthew
started training private clients.  A self-taught
photographer, Matthew began taking photos seriously six years ago
after he broke his ankle.  

While recovering, his camera became his connection to sports and
movement.  His energetic photos focus on sports like
skateboarding and wakeboarding as well as fitness.  Even his
portraits are kinesthetic, capturing large and small movements.
Matthew is captivated by details - whether the play of sunlight
on a skateboard or the burn of a right oblique.  He’s
centered in the moment.  This philosophy extends to his
clients.  No matter their physical abilities, Matthew wants
them to feel balanced, empowered and confident.
