I am here to serve you. 

Hi, I’m Brian Matiash—a photographer and educator with a deep love for helping people improve their photography, whether it's behind the camera or in front of the computer (or mobile device). My goal is simple: to make Lightroom's powerful editing tools feel natural and fun for photographers of every level.

Alongside my work as a content creator, I’m also a Software Quality Engineer on the Adobe Lightroom team. That means I spend every day not just teaching Lightroom, but actively helping shape how the tools evolve. I get to play a role in how new features are built—and then share that knowledge in a way that connects the “why” behind the tools with the “how” to use them creatively.

Photography has always been more than a profession for me—it’s a way of engaging with the world. From sweeping landscapes to fleeting wildlife encounters, I’m constantly exploring ways to capture and share the beauty of the outdoors.

My hope is that you’ll find this site to be a welcoming resource for inspiration, practical tips, and new ways to push your creativity in Lightroom and beyond.

If you have questions, struggles, or pain points with your photography, then I want to hear from you! Contact me, and let's get started.

Writing, like photography, is an important way that I am able to express myself and I love to write about photography, marrying two of my passions. In addition to my published photography book, I have also shared a collection of my published magazine articles.
