Matthew Scott
We checked in with Los Angeles-based photographer, Matthew Scott, and asked him how his recent move from San Francisco has impacted on his career: ‘Work-wise, it’s been a very positive move. There’s a lot more going on down here, not that San Francisco doesn’t have things going on as well. It’s just a simple fact about the size of Los Angeles. There’s a lot more editorial assignments to shoot here, and that has been good’.
‘I’m currently working on a pretty large marketing campaign right now, so in a few months I’ll see what Los Angeles really has in store for me. As far as my personal work goes, it’s always refreshing to relocate. It gives me new places to explore, and in turn, gets my brain going. Being somewhere new gets me inspired to start working on new projects, or continue ongoing projects that may have been on hold for a while’.

Landscape photos resemble traditional Chinese paintings

He remained largely unknown until the final years of his life when he was finally discovered by the wider public. He died in 2004. Read more

In early 1965, LIFE photographer Bill Ray spent several weeks with The Hells Angels. Ray recalls his days and nights with Buzzard, Hambone, Big D, and other Angels (and their ‘old ladies’) at a time when the roar of Harleys and the sight of long-haired bikers was still new, alien, and for the average, law-abiding citizen, simply terrifying. This is a selection of Ray’s images originally published by LIFE.com, and more images can be seen on their website. [via Feature Shoot] Read more
