You could be referring to the type of paper used to print the picture on, but it is spelled "matte". The other commonly used paper type is glossy.

Matte is not as shiny as gloss, so it does not reproduce colours as vibrantly as glossy paper, but it is less prone to finger prints or scratches. Also, matte paper reproduces less glare than glossy paper, which makes it easier to view. Its textured finish makes it more artistic looking, thus it is more suitable for portraits

On the other hand, you could be referring to a photo that has a thin, flat paper based "frame" around it whose opening has bevelled edges. This is known as a "mat" and serves to separate the photo or artwork from the glass covering as well as enhance the viewing experience with complementary (not complimentary) mat colors.

What is your favorite type of photography?

Environmental portraiture is my favorite genre of photography. I enjoy photographing people in their homes, places of employment, and outdoor environments because context enhances personality. These pictures use composition, lighting, and subtle facial expressions to tell stories. Each portrait is made vivid, relatable, and emotionally complex by revealing authenticity and the relationship between the subject and the surroundings.
