Help Matthew build his photography business and global brand

Greetings friends,

My entire life I have been taking pictures. Over the last 20 years, I have developed my skills to the point that I not only have 15,000 people following me on social media, but I am selling my photos on a weekly basis to members throughout that community.

I have decided to focus 100% of my time now on my photography and to be able to share my work beyond the normal social media platforms and to do that, I have decided to create a Go Fund Me page.

The goal is to get my business to the next level and to do that I will need $12,250.

The funding will help build a functioning "print on demand" portal that will allow me to sell more than a few prints a week.

The funding will help with the marketing of the MatthewCortellesi.com website.

The funding will help upgrade my 25 year old computer which in turn will help organize my portfolio more efficiently and effectively.

The funding will afford me a proper camera - up until now all the photos have been taken with my phone.

The funding will allow me to produce images to enter photo shows and contests.

The funding will help complete a book of my images.

And lastly, the funding will give me peace of mind so I don't have to worry for a few weeks about the everyday financial entanglements that burden a struggling artist while I get the project off the ground.

With your help, we can make this happen.

I am truly honored to be in this position and to have so many friends who believe in me and my art.

At this time, no amount is too small and any consideration inclising simply sending me a positive message would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, I will continue to create and to share with you my life and experiences through my true passion...my photography and my storytelling.

I want to thank you all for taking the time to read this and of course for all your support over the years.

Yours truly and sincerely,

~ Matthew
