Another introduction through the tennis club led to an internal event assignment — and it was Matt's composure and instincts on the day, as much as the final images, that earned the next call.

JLL brought him in to create three-quarter-length portraits and headshots for senior executives during a full day of meetings, and the results were strong enough that the Assistant to the Board of Directors now brings him back regularly to keep the Board's portraits current.

The Chairman of the Board and CEO of a very large global commercial real estate firm pause for a posed discussion over fake information on a laptop screen. Matt and team had just thirty minutes to create a series of lifestyle images and 3/4 length portraits of these incredibly business executives. They finished in 20 minutes, much to everybody's delight. @mcguirephoto assist

In 2022, that trust was tested in the most literal way: flown to New York for JLL's quarterly Board meeting, Matt was given twenty minutes to capture a formal group portrait of the full Board. Through meticulous advance preparation, he delivered it in eight — a reminder that at the highest levels, being seen well and being efficient are not in tension. They're the same skill.
