Camayah Visuals is a photography and video studio in Cambridge, MA, run by David and Iris Matthews. We work with the nonprofits, cultural institutions, and civic organizations shaping Greater Boston. We create event photography, interviews, brand campaigns, and websites that show what their work looks like and why it matters.

Know What Cannot Be Missed

A gala may happen once a year. A public art project may unfold over several weeks. A program can continue throughout the year. Each one has people, milestones, and moments that may never happen the same way again.

Before coverage begins, we learn what matters, who needs to be documented, what cannot be missed, and how your team expects to use the photography and video afterward. By the time we arrive, we already know what we are looking for.

Built Over Time

The Record Gets Stronger

Most organizations do not have just one moment worth documenting. They have programs, events, leadership, milestones, people, and projects happening throughout the year.

When we work with an organization over time, each assignment adds context to the next. We learn the people, priorities, restrictions, and history, while the visual record grows into something your team can keep using across reports, websites, press, presentations, campaigns, and future communications.

David has an eye & depth to his approach that is breathtaking. I've known David for many years and it's an honor to work with him. He is a creative that masterfully works with brands, individuals, corporations, and nonprofits, to bring their projects to life. He is committed to ensuring a given project is fully mapped out from start to finish. To say that he is extremely talented would be an understatement. He and his wife Iris are humble and reliable professionals, whom I would not hesitate to call upon, should any project require media.

David Matthews Jr. is the kind of creative you want in your corner when things need to get done right and on time. His work ethic speaks for itself: consistent, detail-oriented, and always pushing for the highest level of quality in every project he touches. Beyond his talent behind the camera, what really sets him apart is his willingness to step in wherever needed, taking the lead on a vision or supporting the team.

Working with David and Camayah Visuals has been a great experience for Cambridge Community Center. They have photographed several important events for us, including our Center Court basketball league, Sisters of the Center Awards Brunch, and The Hip Hop Transformation's recent event, F5: The Creative Storm. David pays close attention to detail, makes sure to capture the moments that matter most, and takes real care in selecting and editing the final photos. We have really appreciated having Camayah Visuals as a partner.

Working with Camayah Visuals over the past few months has helped us solve a real challenge, how to capture and communicate the energy of Central Square in a way that actually translates beyond being there in person. What surprised me most is how deeply they understand the work. They're not documenting from the outside, they're inside the story with you. If you're another BID, nonprofit, or place-based organization, I'd tell you this: bring Camayah Visuals in early.

Working with Camayah Visuals on The World Lives Here year-long campaign has been nothing short of transformative. They move with precision and speed, but never at the cost of quality. What sets their team apart is their ability to truly see the vision. If you're looking for a team that can deliver efficiently while adding serious creative value, Camayah Visuals is it.

How Often Should an Organization Update Its Photo Library?

Organizations rarely need to replace an entire photo library at once. We look at what changed, what is missing, where the images need to work, and whether the team can still find current photographs when they need them.

How to Keep Team Headshots Consistent as New Employees Join

Adding new employees should not mean starting over with your staff photos. Here is what to match and what to keep on file for the next headshot session.

What to Send Your Conference Photographer Before the Event

A conference photographer needs more than the event address. Here is what to send before the conference so speakers, sessions, rooms, headshots, sponsors, and important moments are planned before the day begins.
