Building a Ring Light for Portrait Photography

September 8, 2014

My name is Matt Unrau. I was born and raised in Montana. That's where I get the name, Big Sky Photo. I first got into photography when I was in college. I wanted to see the world, meet everyone I could. And, creating beautiful photos in new environments was another challenge that compelled me.

After college, I worked as a photojournalist for five years, where I was honored by statewide newspaper organizations with various awards including Best Portrait, Best Feature Photo and Best Illustrated Photo. For the last five years I've photographed weddings and portraits graciously being invited into the lives of countless wonderful people along the way.
