Three Decades Behind the Magic of Film and Television
About Portrait | A vintage portrait painting reimagined with myself and one of my dogs, then placed into a staged still life with another antique painting. Created with AI-assisted elements and finished in Photoshop.
I’m Tim Matney, a senior visual artist with nearly 30 years of experience creating and finishing imagery for film, television, advertising, and digital media.
My career began in computer games before transitioning into Visual Effects (digital special effects) for film and television. That work developed my eye for realism, composition, lighting, color, and detail.
I have worked across 3D imagery, digital environments, compositing, image cleanup, and final shot finishing. Often taking incomplete or difficult source material and turning it into something polished and believable.
Indigo M Creative brings that experience to commercial images, brand campaigns, products, portraits, interiors, and AI-assisted content. I combine traditional Photoshop craftsmanship, technical problem-solving, and newer image-generation tools to create finished work that feels intentional, consistent, and ready for real-world use.
I work best on projects that require more than a quick filter or simple edit: mismatched source images, difficult integrations, incomplete assets, inconsistent campaigns, or visual ideas that still need an experienced human eye to make them work.
Based in Atlanta and available for remote projects worldwide.
