About Matt
He/him
Welcome to my humble online abode. Grab a brew, get comfortable and don’t forget to pet the cat!
I'm Matt, a photographer and filmmaker passionate about telling your stories through a creative lens - both literally and figuratively.
Based in West Yorkshire but travelling everywhere (well, mostly everywhere), I’m one of *those* people who genuinely loves what they do. Thankfully, it’s a lot less annoying when it’s focussed on delivering great imagery for you or your business.
Whether you’re an independent artist looking for some portraits to display alongside your work or a business that wants unique and engaging videos of you doing what you do best, I think you’ll find yourself at home here… probably best check out my portfolio just to make sure.
See what I did there?
Everyone should feel free to be authentically and unashamedly themselves
Truth be told, I spent most of the early part of my life behind a desk pretending I had read the minutes and knew what ‘circling back around’ meant. I’d convinced myself that I was happy going to meetings for a living.
I wasn’t though, so I left and did this instead! As it turns out, it isn’t just an expensive passion of mine - I’m pretty good at it too.
I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with some amazing people from all industries, identities and walks of life. Being able to utilise my passion to help others and work together to leave the world a better place, however we can, truly is a dream come true.
With the exception of a (hard fought) cuddle with our cats or a dash of honey in my brew, nothing makes me happier than delivering evocative photography and film that showcases who you are, what you do, and what you stand for.
Great photography doesn’t exist without genuine connection
I love being behind the camera but I seem to melt into a puddle when I’m in front of it, so I understand better than most that it can often feel uncomfortable on the other side of the lens. I approach every shoot in the same way, aiming to create as relaxed and supportive an environment as possible.
From here, I’ll make sure we capture a little bit of magic so you can finally ditch the stock content or that one photo you’ve used for everything, and show up in a way that’s impactful and authentically you.
Unlike that devil of a cat, I really don’t bite. So if you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for (creatively, not philosophically) get in touch using the contact form below.
But who IS he?
I’ll try not to get too deep:
I live in Halifax, West Yorkshire with my amazing wife Janine and our two feline overlords Giz and Rue.
You will probably notice me order two drinks whenever I go to a cafe, one hot and one cold. This is the way.
Getting a window bird feeder was possibly one of the most exciting purchases of my life. The cats agree, but sadly for different reasons.
Despite childhood signs suggesting the opposite, I’m all about the clean and tidy.
I cry hard at Christmas adverts - you do this too, right?
