02 · About Photo Finish

Small team.
Long view.
Global reach.

Matt Galle founded Photo Finish in New York City in 2006 after seeing artists break in the live world before a label, manager, or attorney was in place.

Mike Marquis joined soon after as Galle’s partner and now serves as COO. Together, they built a small, hands-on label around early belief, creative matchmaking, and the patience to let an artist become unmistakable.
