Matt Bender is my niece’s husband. So, I have to admit some bias here.
Matt is an accomplished Polaroid photographer, so he deserves mention.
His Polaroid pictures show the design skills he learned as an artist.
As an artist for the Missouri Botanical Garden, he created designs for the Japanese Festival, Train Show, other special events, mailers, and other marketing collateral. He produced some very memorable work there, but has moved on to private enterprise. Simply put, if you saw ads or fliers for the Missouri Botanical Garden, you likely saw his work.
I can’t show it to you here, but as you can imagine the artwork for his own wedding was phenomenal. The importance of the occasion showed in his attention to detail.
He is a very good graphic artist and Polaroid photographer.
