Photographer Spotlight Matthew McCarthy
“I’ve had a long love and fascination with vehicles of all kinds - cars, trucks, airplanes, and so on. When it comes to cars, I have seen an unfortunate trend towards what I call ‘blandification’ - again, my own term - a design trend that has led to automotive design that is dull and uninspiring, regardless of whatever marketing technique is used to promote a vehicle. As an artist and a historian, I am keenly aware of the diversity of automotive design that used to exist, most notably in the cars of the 1930’s through the 1970’s. It is the elements of this diversity- the details, the sculptural designs of the automotive bodies, that I seek to capture in my work. It’s a blend of three of the great loves in my life - history, transportation vehicles, and photography.”
