Emily Carr's Degree Exhibition 2011 is an exhibit of works from this year's 306 graduates being shown from May 7-22 at 1399 Johnston Street on Granville Island. To raise awareness of what promises to be an incredible show we've invited a couple of the graduates to share their life and work in a couple of special editions of The Proof.

**********

The photographs Matt creates spin you into a world of carefully sought out color, light, composition, and a vibrant energy that leaves the viewers with a sense of nostalgia. His intimate portraits embrace freedom and sexuality, celebrating the raw soul and aura of his subjects.
