Matthew Zambrano

Hi, I’m Matthew—a portrait photographer and videographer based in Austin, Texas. I’ve been working in photography since 2016, with a focus on beauty and portraiture. My work centers on creating clean, striking images that highlight natural detail, texture, and expression.

I collaborate with individuals, creatives, and brands to produce thoughtful, high-quality visuals that feel both intentional and effortless. Whether in a studio or on location, I’m drawn to light, composition, and the small details that make an image feel elevated.

Outside of photography, you’ll usually find me around Austin—grabbing coffee at Merit Coffee Co, browsing at First Light Books, or catching a jazz set at Monks Jazz Club. Those moments of stillness, rhythm, and atmosphere often shape how I approach my work behind the camera.
