Matthew Xavier Praley is a photographer based in New York City focusing his work on heavily rendered and retouched digital imagery.
“Harmoniously saturated colours pair with languid facial expressions and subtle, detail-focused retouching that elevate Matthew’s work to a unique point of view. A flick through his work often feels like a journey into something more realised than its 2D digital form; sometimes evoking the oeuvre of cinematic icons such a Gregg Araki, and other times working in the same realms of PC Music’s futuristic-based utopian visuals. There is an undeniable cinematic and musical quality.”
