Meet Matt Oehrlein and his Giant Fighting Robot
I recently had the opportunity to shoot the cover of Minnesota Alumni’s Winter issue. The magazine featured robot-builder, Matt Oehrlein. He is the co-founder of Megabots inc. His company wants to create the sports league of the future – giant fighting robots. In a nutshell, It’s real-life Pacific Rim. Editorial Environmental Portrait Photographer
Last year, they presented Mark I at the New York Comic Con Festival. While the robot was not fully built, he still towered over his human companions at a height of 15 feet and weighed around 15,000 lbs.
It was an honor to meet this gentleman and can’t wait to see how their company evolves. I’m excited to add these images to my portfolio.
