Matthew earned a BA in literature from the University of Michigan and a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television.
Matthew’s fashion photography developed as an extension of his studies in cinematography. In his first year at USC, Matthew was awarded the Thomas Bush Memorial Cinematography Scholarship. A few years later he received the John F. Seitz Heritage Award for Outstanding Cinematography (Honorable Mention) from the American Society of Cinematographers.
Matthew has been working steadily since finishing USC. He has already shot five feature films, including "The American Standards" starring Golden Globe Winners James Brolin and Joanna Cassidy, "Crazylove" starring Reiko Aylesworth (24) and Bruno Campos (Nip/Tuck), and "Left In Darkness" starring Monica Keena (Entourage), David Anders (Alias, Heroes) and Jessica Stroup (90210).
He has also shot many commercials and music videos. Most recently he's shot videos for Green Day, Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction), Sammy Hagar (Van Halen), Black Stone Cherry, teen pop star Tiffany Giardina, and Nickelback.
While Heckerling is known for his lighting, his skill and creativity in Photoshop allow him to elevate his photos and create truly unique images.
