I recently had the honor of taking a few minutes to chat about food photography with the fine folks at Bon Appetit Magazine for a small feature in the August 2010 edition. It’s out on newsstands right now and to say I’m touched and humbled would be the world’s greatest understatement. It’s a wee bit surreal to open a magazine and see your mug looking back at you*. And for the record, I could easily eat fifteen of those parfaits on the cover. I’m not joking.
The magazine is out now, let me know what you think!
*Perhaps one day after the shame subsides I’ll share with you some back story about that self-portrait.

Congratulations! I’ve been devouring my issue since it arrived in the mail. Loved your tips, was disappointed that the item was so short and would look forward to reading a photography column by you in the magazine each month. Well done!
Holy cow, I just found your website. Love!! Congrats on the article…hope it’s the first of many for you!
A huge fan of both Matt and Bon Appetit which thankfully I get here in the Caribbean. I look forward to reading the article.
Great job, buddy! Perhaps a cookbook is next? Us male food bloggers have to stick together.
Mine hasn’t arrived yet! looking forward to it though! well done!
Ah – I almost bought the magazine in the airport but got a book instead. Too bad I missed it. I’ll have to take a look when I next see it.
Congrats on the article! It’s always nice to see a fellow Texan take the spot light
Felicidades! Now you have a wider stage from which to share your wealth of photo knowledge. I’ll look for this issue.
And get over your …”shame”? You must mean humility. When you do get over it, we’d love to hear the back story.

Congrats! Can’t wait to grab this issue. Looks wonderful!
Just got it in the mail today — can’t wait to take a peek!
Yay! Congratulations on the article! You look great and now (of course) you HAVE to tell the backstory to the self portrait!
Also, I noticed that you didn’t mention the magazine you were featured in last month…
Congrats – can’t wait to check it out!

I’ll have the issue before I get home tonight! Matt, many have said “congrats” — add my name to the list. I also want to say that you truly inspire me. My goal is to shoot to some percentage of the level you do….I’m working at it!
Thanks Matt!!
Congrats! Can’t wait to read!
I got my issue yesterday. So cool! I opened it up and showed my husband and was like “I KNOW THAT DUDE” – he wanted to see your photos so we spent a ton of time browsing the blog.

You are my new hero. I’m in the process of selling my house and leaving my comfy US nest. Thanks for the continued inspiration!

strangely, I found our issue in the bathroom at work. But still enjoyed reading your article. Congrats!
Congrats Matt! I saw it last week…pretty awesome!
Hmmm. I seem to remember saying, oh, about 5 years ago, “Just wait. You’re totally gonna be in Bon Appetit in like 2 years.” So I was 3 years off, but still…
You’re the bomb squad, mister, and don’t you ever forget it.
Big Congratulations! (Am going out to get a copy tomorrow.)
