“I’ve been lucky enough to work with Matt on multiple national and international shoots and can confirm that his incredible photography skills, passion, professionalism and reliability are only surpassed by his wonderful, cheery nature and can-do attitude. You always know you’re in safe hands when Matt is present on a shoot and can trust him to not only get the most beautiful photographs (that are always to-brief), but also to make the subjects he shoots feel at ease and confident – which in turn comes across in the photos. I can’t recommend Matt highly enough and can confirm that he would be an incredible addition to any creative team.”
