“ I started flying as a member of cabin crew at the age of 19 , with camera in hand . I loved taking pictures all over the world , but the photography career took off when I took some photography at a friend ' s wedding . To my surprise , my friends informed me that the professional photographer had messed up and they wanted to use my photographs instead . This was the beginning of my journey . I opted to shoot weddings and portraits which resulting in leaving the career of travelling the world . I decided then to photograph physiques as I used to train myself and had a passion for working out ”.
It doesn ' t matter if you ' re only just beginning in the industry or a seasoned professional , Matt will be able to help your achieve your goals in his own unique way after working with a number of reputable clients across the globe .
As I work with a vast number of beginners there is a lot of direction expectingly involved . Therefore , not just beginnings , but for all of my clients , I ask them to look through my portfolio and show me what they like so I get a good understanding of their preferences e . g . bright or moody pictures , type of backdrop and additionally props they might need for their shoot . This then gives me a good indication on the lighting they like then coupled with good direction , which comes with the experience in shooting physiques and getting a good result ”.
