Matthew misspent his childhood whilst raised in the County of Kent. School provided a visual and musical background but it was hanging round with local artists; the Medway Stuckists, (who numbered Tracey Emin amongst their ranks) that provided the entertainment. An art school education followed, culminating in a post-graduate course in theatre design at the Almedia theatre.

It was a career in film, art direction, theatre and interior design that ensued. Whilst decorating Mario Testino’s apartment in Paris, he was encouraged, (under the guidance of Patrick Kinmonth) to work with Mario’s on his burgeoning career. This ultimately led to working with many other great photographers thus finding the career and discipline in which he feels most comfortable.

His approach is broad with a strong respect for the story within the project. Matthew believes that visual storytelling is very powerful within the photographic context and it is that which drives his work and passion.

Photographers Matthew has had the pleasure to work with include; Mario Testino, Helmut Newton, Juergen Teller, Nadav Kandar, David Slijper, Steve Hiett, Michael Baumgarten, Tom Hunter, Regan Cameron, Jake Walters, John Akehurst, Mikael Jansson, Thomas Nutzl, Nathaniel Goldberg, Vincent Peters, Mark Hom and Martina Hoogland Ivanow. “Matthew’s attention to detail is impeccable” states Mario Testino.

Matthew’s editorial work has been seen across the globe in various magazines such as; British, French, Italian & Japanese Vogue, Black Book, Ten Magazine, Details, GQ, Sunday Times Style, The Face, i-D, Wonderland and Tatler.

Advertising Campaigns to date include; Valentino, Vivienne Westwood, Jimmy Choo, Missoni, Paul & Joe, Patek Philippe, Camper, Nokia and USB.

Matthew is currently based in London.
