Who am I?
Howdy, I am Mat Loyola. I am a photographer and filmmaker based in Invermere BC. I create promotional material for small businesses and brands. I am especially passionate about brands and businesses involving sports, adventure, music, or pretty much any outdoor activity. I love telling stories with my camera and capturing amazing people doing incredible things.
I spent years living, working, and eating my way through Asia. Phnom Penh, Cambodia was my home. While in Cambodia I filmed and photographed for a variety of brands and NGOs and it has allowed me to grow my skills as a filmmaker and storyteller. Prior to moving to Asia, I graduated from the University of Lethbridge with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in New Media.
I have worked on many different projects photographing or filming a variety of events including events, engagement photos, family portraits, sporting events, and commercial videos. I have filmed multiple episodes for a Canadian television shows on the Wild TV network.
Fun Fact:
I can walk on water! Provided I have a boat pulling me 65 km/h. One of the reasons I first picked up a camera was because I wanted to get better photos and videos of me barefoot waterskiing. Never thought it would take me this far.
