Matt Kubitza was born in Heidelberg, Germany. His father operated a successful photography business, selling equipment and operating a laboratory that processed black and white images from film, and taking portraits and other images in his studio. This is where Matt was first introduced to photography, encompassing many aspects of the art. However, he refused to follow in his father’s footsteps, and at the age of 24, Matt decided to follow his heart and emigrated to Canada.
Matt’s interests were in the creative side of things; he wanted to become a cabinetmaker, crafting unique pieces of furniture. So, that he did for many years. As he was coming close to retirement, Matt looked for a hobby to keep himself busy in his older years. It was then that he went back to his photographic roots and purchased his first digital camera, a point and shoot.
Soon Matt realized that to improve his craft, a point and shoot was not the right tool. He has since acquired top quality cameras and lenses to help him express himself creatively. Matt was busy shooting landscapes, animals, flowers and macros. He tried his hand also at gigapixel photography and finally chose photographing images of people as his main interest. He has been honing the craft of shooting people since then to this day through Fine Art Nude Photography. Here Matt found his true calling; the interaction with muses of all backgrounds and body types has become the driving force behind his creativity. To facilitate this, Matt built a unique studio in his house, allowing him to photograph in a variety of ways. It has been eight years now that Matt has been shooting this genre. Creativity never stops.
Matt decided to do right by his father and continued the business name of Photo Kubitza.
