MATT MENDELSOHN

Matt Mendelsohn has been a photographer for 39 years, though his passion for photography started long before then. Back in Mattlin Junior High School, in Plainview, New York, Matt vividly remembers seeing an image appear on a piece of paper floating in a tray of liquid. The rest, as they say, is history. After a career in journalism at United Press International and USA Today, he now is the founder of Matt Mendelsohn Photography.




You might have heard of Matt through many projects that have received national and international attention. Matt has been featured on ABC News, The Washington Post and the CBS Evening News for his work with local high school seniors during the pandemic. His image of the Lincoln Memorial from election night 2008 was featured in President Obama's memoir, A Promised Land. It was President Obama's favorite image taken that night. Matt's photojournalism and writing has appeared in multiple newspapers and magazines including USA Today, The Washington Post, The New York Times, People Magazine and Arlington Magazine.
