Meet Michael Bordon

Michael is the photographer, cinematographer, and owner behind Matte Black Production — and his path here wasn't a straight line.

He started in videogame design, learning to build worlds and guide a viewer's eye frame by frame, then earned an MBA in Project Management. Every shoot gets an artist's eye and a project manager's plan.

After years in Phoenix, he brought Matte Black Production to Savannah — serving businesses across the Lowcountry, and traveling for the right project.

How we work

An artist's eye

A trained eye across stills and motion — product, corporate, lifestyle, or video — so whatever we create looks like it was meant to be seen.

A clear plan

We plan the work before we do the work — shot lists, timelines, and formats mapped out up front, whether we're shooting stills or motion.

On-time delivery

Your finished content — images, video, or both — arrives on time and export-ready for web, social, print, or wherever it's headed.
