Chicago Cubs / MLB

Who
The Chicago Cubs are oldest of the two Chicago Major League baseball teams, playing at the hallowed grounds of Wrigley field, second oldest ballpark in the world.
Goal
Create impactful images across genres
Outcome
Across numerous engagements for the team and the league, Matt delivered dynamic imagery to support the brands across genres - from headshots to in-game aerial imagery to meditative pre-dawn photos that capture the quiet majesty of the mighty altar to the sport that is Wrigley Field.. Four of his images were selected for the "100 Years of Wrigley" field book, including one for the double truck inside cover.

The first work Matt did for the Cubs was in the early 2000’s when he ran DeltaQuest Imaging, one of the country’s first digital portrait labs. The team photographer, Steve Green, brought print work such as the iconic “…Signs with Cubs” photos taken on the Marquee, player action photos to be handed out to superfans, and even the historical photos that hang in the hallway behind the Press Box to this day.
