Chaos Photography

Born on an "island" and "raised by wolves", David Matthews has quite an active imagination. This imagination has brought him from drawing comics as a kid to graphic design in college and to photography today.

David, also known as Kidd Chaos, is actually from Virginia, currently in Maryland. He started doing photography about 3 years ago. His love for photography branched from his need of original pictures for graphic design. His inspiration for art is being able to get the credit for his work.
I guess in the end that's all that really matters; being able to say thats my work. One thing David says he live by is to treat people the way you'd want to be treated.

His goal is to have his pictures in Vogue and to have one of them on the cover of Vogue. David says he'd love to work with Halle Berry and his favorite photographers are Marcus Hyde and Ransom Rockwood.


Advice David would give to anyone wanting to be photographer is to study your craft in regards to cameras and lighting. As well as looking at other photographers and experimenting with trail and error.

Three words to describe David are unorganized, creative and ambitious.

He works his creative magic with his two cameras. David owns a Canon 60D as well as a Canon 5D Mark II.  He works mostly with make up artist (MUA) Brittany Rogers. But he is working on getting a team together.

David says his biggest supporters are his family and close friends Talishia and Quentin Keeno.

When asked which one of his shoots was his favorite, David had a hard time deciding. Finally he said his shoot with Hayat was his favorite because it was very creative and portrayed a lot of emotions.

One thing David says people wouldn't guess about him is that he has a twin brother. His brother is also into art and makes music.

Favorite Quote: "You can close your eyes to want you don't want to see. But you cant close your heart to what you don't want to feel." -Johnny Depp


*If you're in the Washington DC area on April 25th you can meet David as well as other artists at RAW Artists: Washington DC. It will be located at Ibiza DC starting at 8pm.*
