Although my professional name is Matthew Baldelli, I am affectionately known to friends and family as Matt or my bowling name “Baldi”. I have been a photography addict from the first time I picked up a camera in high school—the instant gratification and the creativity involved were the perfect outlet for me. I never looked back, attending and then graduating from the Hallmark School of Photography (better known as boot camp!) The last 8 years of my life have been all about taking pictures for work fun. After completing the Hallmark program, my career has taken off, allowing me to travel all over the world for many different clients.

Recently, I have moved from specializing in food photography to adventure photography—this is a perfect fit for me, as I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie.

When I don’t have a camera in my hand or my face glued to a computer screen, you can find me out hiking or biking on the side of a mountain. When that gets boring, jumping out of perfectly safe airplanes always does the trick!

Thanks for taking the time to review my photographs and read my bio; I hope you’ve learned a little about me. As Ghandi said, “I try to live every day like it was my last, but learn like I am going to live forever."
