“COMMUNITY over COMPETITION”
“I am loving the Fuego Magic Podcast! I think it’s a fantastic resource for photographers of all different levels as there are so many different styles and techniques shared by the guests. From shooting style to settings to gear, to business and marketing and a whole load in between. It’s fun to hear about everyone’s personal journey and growth too.”

Educational Offerings + Tools
01
Mentoring with Matias
Some things simply can’t be learned via YouTube tutorials. (Trust me, I’ve tried.) If you've exhausted online resources but still aren’t quite nailing the look you want to achieve, a 1-1 mentorship session could be the turning point. Why spend hours sifting through generic advice when you can receive direct guidance from a seasoned pro who can immediately pinpoint what’s missing?
With virtual and in-person options, my mentorship sessions are completely customized to you. Bring all your questions—whether about camera settings, mastering flash techniques, or refining your editing skills. Together, we’ll dive into one of your sessions in Lightroom or head out for a hands-on shoot. You set the agenda, ensuring our time together is focused on exactly what you need to elevate your craft.
02
The Fuego Magic Podcast
The Fuego Magic Podcast is your ultimate resource for gaining knowledge + behind-the-scenes insights from fellow photographers. Up for discussion: unique approaches to wedding day flow, camera setting preferences, business models, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting your journey in photography, you’ll find valuable (free!) tips that will help you solidify your style and deliver a killer client experience.
03
Professional Presets
Fuego Magic Presets are an ideal toolkit addition for wedding and portrait photographers who desire a clean, timeless aesthetic. Crafted to prioritize beautiful skin tones and dreamy greens, Fuego Magic imparts artistic flair without straying too far from what the eye naturally sees. Optimized for Lightroom Classic (desktop), my presets were designed to elevate your editing process and output—while saving you a ton of time and effort in the process.

“HE DIDN'T JUST TELL ME WHAT to DO, HE SHOWED ME.”
“Having a mentorship with Matias put me YEARS ahead of where I would have been if I tried to learn everything on my own. We went over things like camera settings, framing, [and] interacting with your couples. From there, we met with a couple that Matias had set up just for me to shoot with.
What I loved most about my mentorship was that Matias let me shoot how I normally would. Then, he would step in and tell me how he would make the image better.
Invest in yourself and your business and book Matias!! Take it from someone who’s done mentorships with top leaders in our industry…Matias is the best—hands down.”

Canon EOS R5 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera
Favorite Camera
Hands down, this is THE best camera I've owned to date—and I've owned a lot of cameras. There are many things I love about this mirrorless camera, but my favorite feature is the ability to utilize eye-tracking and autofocus without changing my settings.
