About Capture The Shot Photography

Capture the Shot is owned and operated by little old me, Matthew King. I've been a photographer since I was able to hold a camera. For many years it was just a hobby but in the last 8 years I've been making the move toward being a full time professional photographer. Self taught for the most part, I got my start mainly as a concert and event photographer but have steadily been adding to my tool box. Thanks to friends and local bands I have had the pleasure of branching out into product, portrait and landscape photography. My photos have been used for the Suburban Legends album Day Job, seen in Calabasas Style Magazine and have been used by A. Marie Jewelry. I am also a proud member of The Professional Photographers of America (PPA).

Supporting me all along and in every way imaginable, is Krista King, my amazing and super creative wife. We met in high school during the wild and crazy 80s and married (just a few years later, ha ha) in 2003. She has been my source of inspiration and has pushed me to make my dreams come true. I could not have made it to this point in my life without her. Just ask anyone who has met us, we're the perfect team.

I grew up in Southern California, specifically in the San Fernando Valley, and a few years ago I made the move to Simi Valley. I've been lucky enough to capture shots of nearly everything you can imagine in Southern California. The beaches,  the mountains, live music, great cars, amusement parks, you name it. Everything is right here at my fingertips. Being a photographer here is absolutely amazing and the people you can meet come from everywhere in the world. What more can you ask for?

You may be asking "Where are you available to shoot?" and the answer is, just about anywhere you can think of. I mainly like to cover the Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange County areas, but I am available outside those areas with an added travel fee.

Feel Free to browse the Prints for Sale page. All of my photos are printed by a high quality professional lab so you'll get the highest quality prints available at an affordable price.
