Matthew Raney Photography LLC

I am a full-time professional photographer with an LLC and insurance. This sets me apart from many of the hobbyist photographers on CrackerJack who are just trying to make a bit of extra cash on the side. My work has been published in prestigious publications such as The New York Times and Vogue, and I have been trusted to photograph a number of high-profile celebrities, some of whom are featured in my CrackerJack profile.

Thanks to my CrackerJack bookings, I have gained numerous full-time, year-round clients, which is a testament to my professionalism and ability to make my clients feel at ease during a shoot. I am a friendly and personable person, and I believe that establishing a comfortable atmosphere is crucial to producing exceptional results.

My client base is diverse and includes individuals, families, corporations, non-profit organizations, sports franchises, advertising agencies, and publishers both in the US and abroad. I have covered a wide array of events, including weddings, engagements, proposals, corporate and non-profit events, and professional and amateur sports.

I am proud to be a member of the Professional Photographers Association, the National Press Photographers Association, and the United States Press Agency. I offer a tremendous discount to my normal hourly, event, or day rates when hired through CrackerJack, as it provides me with valuable work during periods when my schedule is otherwise open.

It is important to note that the quotes I provide, especially those via CrackerJack's "instant match" profiling system, are tentative and subject to change depending on the actual parameters of the job. For example, weddings and events are two different specialties that require different pricing structures.

As a seasoned professional, I am skilled in understanding my clients' visions and delivering high-quality results that exceed their expectations. I am equally comfortable working on a highly technical or creative level, and I believe that these two aspects are equally important in producing great photography.

Above all, I take each client's expectations seriously and strive to deliver a superior product. Interacting with clients is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job, and I am always happy to be able to capture those priceless "in the moment" shots that elevate my work above the standard fare.
