Mata Muros – Seattle Muralists

I had the pleasure of doing a small informal shoot last Saturday for Mata Muros, Seattle-based muralist company. They were in the middle of a job to complete a mural for Noc On Wood Records on the corner of Fairview and Thomas in downtown Seattle.

I met one of the Mata Muros artists, Jill Rothenberger, a few weeks ago at a friend’s birthday and we’ve been in contact trying to plot out when would be a good time for me to go shoot them in action. I got a call last Saturday afternoon since there was a lucky break with the weather and they were planning on setting up for a few hours. I ran home to grab my gear before heading out to meet them. I got a few great photos, but mostly they were pretty drab due to the poor lighting. I had to spend more time in Lightroom than I would have liked, but I did manage to find a cool preset that helps me replicate the saturated look of Velvia film. Sweet!
