ABOUT

Mattie Provost (b. 2002, Denver, CO) is a New-York based documentary photographer and multimedia artist who received a BFA in Photography and Imaging from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2024. Mattie’s practice explores and visualizes the threads of queerness and gender, interwoven with family, culture, memory, and identity—often turning the lens onto themself as both subject and conduit. Informed by anthropological, queer, and sociocultural theory, Mattie works in a “post-documentary” mode—a poetic blend of fine art and documentary that approaches the role of storytelling afar from traditional photojournalistic standards. As a queer artist, their work grounds queer desires, dreams, and fantasies into a visual language and reality—insofar queer futures become not just imagined, but seen, felt, and held.
