I'm Matt

I'm a portrait photographer with a studio based in London.

 

My work is all about observing people. Whether I'm shooting at a huge, dramatic location or with a simple studio setup, I like my images to include a little glimpse of a person's most natural, comfortable self.

​

There is value in both the connections and the differences between how someone would like to be perceived and who they naturally are. When being photographed, people are often held back a little by their inner-critic - Especially those who aren't around cameras a lot. That shouldn't be ignored, it should be agknowleged, accepted and collaborated with. The most flattering and authentic photos are always a result of finding the balance between honouring that inner-critic and gently working around it.

 

I make sure to create an efficient, relaxed atmosphere at a shoot and pay attention to people's natural expressions, body language and temperament. That's my starting point, and from there I'll very subtly adjust elements of the posing, and create a comfortable and authentic moment for the photo to be taken.
