On the Cover, and the Man Behind the Camera

For over a decade, whenever we’ve wanted to showcase the beautiful life in New Hampshire, we’ve turned to Matthew Mead. The Concord photographer, stylist and writer has specialized in creative décor and lifestyle ideas for New England homes, gardens and entertaining for more than 25 years.

“I love the natural world and sharing the simple things that make every day beautiful,” says Mead, who produced this month’s cover and our “Living” department (page 76) on clever ways to decorate with cranberries.

Mead’s photos illustrate the new cookbook, “The Art of Pantry Cooking: Meals for Family and Friends” (Rizzoli International, publisher). Mead has also been busy turning his photography into abstract wall art and writing a novella about a seaside New England town in the 1950s.
