'It’s exciting to go on one adventure after another, bonding with strangers over an artistic idea. By the end of the process, we’ve become a family, of sorts, connected by talent, passion, style, creativity and most importantly, beauty.'
Matthew Hartwig
When people write about 22 year old model Matthew Hartwig they often comment on his classic good looks. Hartwig has a classic Americana look, blended with a European twist, reminiscent of a young Pierce Brosnan, George Clooney or Clark Gable. Hartwig (as seen clearly in the two images above) can transform his appearance in front of the camera and easily transition from classic to a more modern look to match whatever theme or concept he is working in.
Matthew by Ev Dylan
I was first introduced to Matthew two years ago when profiling his work with Ev Dylan. Ev has always been one of my favorite photographers, not just because of his ability to capture incredible men, but his eye and focus on the exquisite, almost ethereal beauty, that many who shoot the male form seem to overlook. It is this quality, the almost seamless weaving of body with spirit that Ev captures so masterfully. This was clear in his earlier work with Matthew, (seen in the image above) and their most recent collaboration together in the image below.
When Matthew was 18 he was scouted by a local photographer and told to test, and give it a try, to see what opportunities might arise. Soon after, Matthew went to an open casting and was the only model there that was booked both designers for the show and the subsequent ad campaign. Since first featuring Matthew back in 2010, he has continued to be in demand with fashion, print and runway work.
