My full name is Scott Matthew Misturini, but you can call me Scott Matthew for short. I’m a freelance lifestyle and motorsports photographer with an obsession for photographing anything that’s old, fast, and leaks oil.

In my late teens and early twenties, I worked as a photo intern at a local weekly paper. Around that time I bought my first bike, a 1971 BMW R50/5. It was in rough shape and despite having almost no mechanical experience, I was determined to rebuild it.

I spent an entire summer piecing it back together and I’ll never forget my first ride. The carbs weren’t tuned, the headlight was held on with electrical tape, and I definitely did not have a license. But I put on a helmet, grabbed the throttle, and took off down the street. I was hooked

After college, my obsession with motorcycles pulled me away from photojournalism and into fabrication. I eventually found myself working as a machinist in a custom motorcycle shop. Somewhere along the way I picked up the camera again to create content for the shop’s social media. That is when I realized I could combine my love for photography and motorcycles.

Today I create imagery for a variety of fabrication companies including welding shops, sign makers, and blacksmiths.
