Matthew Terry

Matthew Terry is a Contemporary Photographer and graduate of the Academy of Art University, where he attained his BFA-Photography with a focus in Fine Art Photography in December of 2014. Currently located in the Quad City area, Matthew picked up his first film camera in 2004 at age 16, and since has exhibited and sold work at galleries in Rome, San Francisco, and Minneapolis, among others. Additionally seeing work published both nationally (Iowa, Vermont, New York, Atlanta) and internationally (Italy, England). Lost within his surroundings he found photography, and through this medium he found a way to connect with other individuals who also felt a similar level of detachment. Recently featured in the Iowa 175th Anniversary edition of The Annals of Iowa and a featured guest at the 2021 Celebrate Iowa Gala, Matthew is a quickly emerging talent from the Eastern edge of Iowa attempting to change up the perception of what Midwestern/Iowa art has traditionally represented.

Matthew is based out of Iowa County.
