Reed Mattison is a photographer and writer from Bowling Green, Kentucky. He earned his bachelor’s degree in photojournalism from Western Kentucky University. Reed grew up in southern Kentucky spending his childhood outdoors on family farms, spring creeks, and the karst hills that would come to influence his visual aesthetic. His semi-rural upbringing and education in the immigrant resettlement town of Bowling Green provided a racially and culturally diverse community that was formative to his photographic philosophy and class consciousness.
Now based in Jackson, Wyoming, his long-term film photography focuses on themes of community, memory, and sense of place.
When he isn't making photographs with his neighbors, Reed is a babysitter, bike mechanic, and teacher.
