JANUARY 2013 BACK ISSUE
Matt Moyer is a photojournalist committed to documenting the social and cultural issues that affect
our world. His intimate photographs go behind the headlines to put a human face on the biggest
issues of the day.
For the past decade Moyer has spent his time photographing feature stories for National Geographic
magazine and documenting social issues for foundations. He has also worked on assignment for
other prominent publications including The New York Times, Marie Claire, The Independent, and
The Guardian. He has covered the major events of the past decade including the fall of the twin
towers, security contractors in Afghanistan, healthcare in America, and the Iraq war.
Moyer explains, "I approach my work with an ethic that was formed early in my career while
documenting small communities in rural New York State. My subjects were my neighbors and my
community. I had to look them in the eye not only when I was working on a story but for weeks and months after. This drove me
to get the story right and tell it as I saw it with empathy and honesty. Now, whether I am photographing a farm family in rural
America or a Shiite family in Baghdad, I call upon the lessons I learned and always remember to view my subjects as members
of my extended community."
Moyer’s documentary photography has been recognized for numerous international awards and appeared in several books
including The Best of Photojournalism series, Report From Ground Zero, and Witness to War. His work has also been exhibited
throughout the world.
Moyer sits on the Board of Advisors for The Siena School, a school for students with language-based learning differences,
headquartered in Washington, DC. He also spends time every year teaching with the National Geographic Photo Camp, a
program that teaches photography to children in underserved communities.
Moyer was named a Knight Wallace Journalism Fellow at the University of Michigan in 2008 and
is currently the Knight Fellow at Ohio Univeristy’s prestigious School of Visual Communications.
Gonzales is a professional photographer and Photography teacher in Monterrey, México.
Born in 1956. Graduated in Chemical Engineering.

passion as always. My main interests are street photography and portrait photography as well as
teaching and transmitting all this love and passion to young photographers.”

explore themes of freedom, space, spirit and adventure, across many locations, cultures and people
around the world.
