We're delighted to serve up yet another take-over of VCP's Instagram account by one of our March 2017 exhibitors, Matthew Hamon. Stick around, and follow along! https://www.instagram.com/vcpbrattleboro/ Matthew Hamon is a freelance portrait photographer who lives in rural Montana. His photography exists conceptually and aesthetically in the spaces between photojournalism and staged editorial imagery. Matthew hails from a small, remote town in Northern California. A sense of place informed by wandering the woods as a child inspires his enquiry. Self-described as "post-rural," Matt currently lives in Potomac, Montana near the Blackfoot River.
