Mattea LinAe is a luxury photographer known for her timeless, emotionally driven imagery. Her work centers on authenticity and human connection, often capturing raw, unposed moments that feel both intimate and natural.
Rooted in a deep appreciation for storytelling, Mattea’s approach reflects a sensitivity to the essence of her subjects. She finds meaning in what’s often overlooked—the subtle exchanges between people, the textures of a space, the quiet dance of light and shadow. Each frame is composed with the intention of telling a story that feels both personal and enduring.
Adopted from Korea and raised in Colorado, Mattea’s perspective is shaped by her own search for belonging. Her experience of feeling like the ‘odd one out’ fuels her desire to see—and document—the people and moments the world often misses.
Over the past decade, she has photographed hundreds of people, places, and brands across the globe—and plans to keep doing so for the rest of her life.
