Bio

I’m Matt,

 

A landscape and seascape photographer based on the UK’s South Coast for the past 15 years.

I'm a self taught photographer who started with film 35mm film cameras all the way through to the modern cameras we have today.

Originally from Manchester I’ll always have a strong connection to my home city and a proud Manc, and while the South Coast offers a very different backdrop I feel more at home in it's landscapes than anywhere else.

I don’t believe great photography comes from the latest gear. Some of my favourite images have been made using older cameras and lenses — proof that vision, timing, and curiosity matter far more than specifications.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a husband to my amazing wife Liv, step-dad to Ella and Freya, and a dog dad to our Romanian fluff ball, Suzy.
