About Matt Ditchen

I am local photographer and videographer based in Morgantown, WV. I love spending time outside in nature and capturing moments in my life. My work ranges from state parks to local people.

I make photographs and films for people and organizations who are building or creating in the Mountain State.

My work lives at the intersection of documentary instinct and deliberate craft. I am drawn to the unguarded moments, the texture of real spaces, and the quiet details that reveal character. Whether I’m on a shoot for a hotel brand, a founder community, or a regional initiative, my goal is the same: to make images that feel true to the subject and useful in the world.

I grew up in West Virginia and that shapes how I see. I’m interested in the overlooked, the understated, and the ambitious — especially when they show up in the same place. I work in both photo and video because the story often demands both, and I try to bring the same editorial sensibility to each.
