About Me
Photography is my escape. My work is heavily influenced by my love of film and I aim to capture expressive images that have an cinematic and emotive quality to them. Solitude and stillness are themes often explored throughout my work.
Over the years I’ve embraced a much simpler style of photography; opting to shoot lenseless via pinhole photography or through a plastic lens of one of my many ‘toy cameras’. I’m more than happy to sacrifice clarity for softness, allowing for the creation of images that often resemble dreams or memories.
I use a wide variety of cameras to capture my images; these include pinhole, medium format film, 35mm film, digital and toy cameras.
Originally from Newcastle Upon-Tyne, I now live in East Lothian, Scotland.
Thanks for visiting and if you would like further information about my work please don't hesitate to get in touch.
All the best,
Matt.
