I had a great shoot with Matt in February, on location in his home town. We chatted back and forth regarding styling, make up etc communication was really simple, he was really laid back and let me have full control of styling the shoot.

We walked around in the cold and grab a few shots around some landmarks, we also popped into an adorable little cafe to warm up. There we snuck in a few shots as we enjoyed a quick tea. He was really relaxed and understanding as I took time to warm up between outfit changes. We had a great time chatting away at a bunch of different subjects throughout the day.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Matt, I could recommended him enough, I hope to work with him again next time I’m in the UK. If you are looking for portraits or stunning fashion shots he is your guy! You will have a blast working with him.

Thank you Matt!

Awesome workflow, impeccable communication, utter professionalism, good banter and amazing pictures. So happy I got to shoot with Matt!

We had a shoot at Aura Studio, which was smooth and relaxed. Matt contributed with his ideas and shot some interesting angles!

Highly recommended!

Angharada

Matt and I had a wonderful shoot around Ely, some Autumnal fashion, and whimsical, emotive shots of me prancing around :) We had a great talk and walk of the town (I felt like I had a guided tour almost!) and there were so many quaint streets, beautiful doors and parks, and the canal too to create some beautiful lifestyle images. I felt I was running out of ‘safe’ clothes to wear around public areas ha ha, but Matt was really good about it and we made it work by mixing it up often. Matt is laid back, easy going and awesome to chat to, and a top gentleman! I would love to work together again, anytime. AND he so kindly bought me a coffee, so that’s always a good start to my day!! Thank you so much Matt for collecting me at Ely station and taking the time out of your busy schedule to squeeze a shoot in with me for my trip. Thoroughly recommended,

Matt attended my Ballgowns and Burlesque event at the Hacienda in London last weekend. We've worked together several times before, including a trip to Spain last year, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to do so again. Matt is one of those genuinely lovely guys who makes this job a real joy - friendly, warm, a total gent with a great sense of humour. The time flew by and we created some really stunning images that I look forward to seeing edited. Matt's work is as lovely as he is and I can't recommend him enough.

It was so nice to work with Matt again after waaay too long on my recent tour!

We spent a few hours shooting at the modern home location I had in MK and worked our way through lots of different ideas.

I really loved what I saw on the back of the camera and the time just flew by.

We chatted about how it was a shame the Artemisian trips always sell out so fast (and don't have any slots left last minute) as I would love to have Matt join us and know he can only fit things in last minute-! Such a lovely guy- thank you for popping by and shooting me once again :)

Thanks Matt, can't wait to see the images and I hope you enjoy the 70-200 too. Hope to shoot again some time :D :D

Rachelle Summers

Matt joined us on my 'Belles of Bedford' event this weekend!

He always manages to see a different shot to everyone else and I always enjoy our shoots together :D From what I saw on the back of the camera he got some wonderful shots so I really can't wait to see the final results!

Matt always fits in to my group events well and gets on with everyone attending, as well as treating the models well too so he is the perfect photographer and I love it when he books one to the events/trips I'm running.

Highly recommended by me and can't wait to work with him again next time!

Summers Abroad

Matt and his lovely wife Arlene joined us on another trip this year! This time to Southern France :)

They are both such great company, no bother at all and make mine and Mr Summer's jobs a breeze! They fit in to the group dynamic so well and Matt creates some stunning images! I love the fact that he sees something different to everyone else and always leaves with totally different images too :)

Highly recommended by us and hope they can join us next year!

Rachelle Summers

Another wonderful shoot with Matt! This time on my Summers Abroad photographic holiday to France!

Yet again we got some absolutely incredible images! And the best thing about the trips is we can get our hour long conversations about TV series done in social time so we actually manage to get some images done hahaha!

I've worked with Matt for numerous years now and always look forward to catching up and shooting together! Really looking forward to seeing him again on my Bedford event next month :D

Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Matt during a Summers Abroad photo event organised by Rachelle Summers in the South of France. From the moment we all arrived he was extremely friendly, personable and gave me a fab recommendation for a cake shop in Copenhagen (the next stop on my Euro tour)!

On a professional level he was fantastic to work with. Very easy going and collaborative, creating an ideal atmosphere for shooting. Clearly wanting to get the best from each shoot setup and working well with the model to communicate ideas and give feedback both verbally and showing how the images were going on the back of camera. During free time he had some lovely ideas for concepts, which turned out some really beautiful images on the back of the camera that I was really excited about! Matt ensured I felt at ease and comfortable at all times during our shoot and was great company as well! Highly recommended!

Jezebelle

Matt booked onto the Three Grace's Event at Aura Studio recently, shooting Angharada, Joy & myself - he is a warm, friendly and respectful individual who has a beautiful way with the camera....

The images are just immense ♥

Thank you for such a wonderful shoot, we all really enjoyed it and I can enthusiastically recommend you to all models/studios without hesitation :)

Angharada

Had a great shoot with Matt! Thank you for coming to shoot me, Joy and Jezebelle at Aura Studio ! He was super lovely and respectful and easy going- although we didn’t have too long we made soooooo many good shots ! They looked so lush on the back of the camera, and lots of renaissance goodness was made ! Was a lovely session and thoroughly enjoyed our time together :)

Joy Draiki

Matt attended a studio dat I worked on together with Jezebelle and Angharada. It was very lovely to meet you Matt! You where a very easy going and kind photographer to work with and we made a lot of awesome images together!

I would reccomend you to any model :)

Carla Monaco

I worked with Matt for the first time on my recent visit to Aura Studio last weekend.

Matt booked on my studio day, Matt was a pure pleasure to work with.

He made me feel comfortable, was easy to chat to and came with some great ideas.

I fully enjoyed my shoot with Matt and I hope we can work together again in the future.

Thanks for a super shoot Matt.

Carla :)

Rachelle Summers

Another wonderful shoot with Matt!

I always look forward to our shoots and catching up with him, as he is one of my favourite people to work with!

Matt is super friendly, and we probably should have someone present on our shoots to reign us in when we start chatting too much hahaha!! But the shoots are always super fun and creative, and I always love the images we create together :D

Highly, highly recommended by me and hope to see him again soon!

Rebecca Tun

I really enjoyed my shoot with Matt last October. He booked a splendid location and let me go to town on the styling. He discussed ideas clearly beforehand as well as embracing improvisation on the day. He is a considerate and friendly photographer and very easy to work with. I love the pictures, am glad Matt booked me and can highly recommend him to other models!

I worked with the wonderful Matt at The Loft studio in Colchester.

Matts pre comms were excellent and we arranged the shoot without any faff and he kindly let me know the shoot plan and what to bring.

On the day Matt turned up on time and was a real pleasure to be around, very easy to talk with and we covered quite a few really stunning sets! It was nice to challenge myself a little and work non nude for a change and I loved the things we ended up doing. Loads of lovely portraits, beauty images and fashion/lifestyle.

Matt was highly respectful during our shoot and he comes with the highest recommendations.

Thankyou!

Heather May Corvid

I spent five days shooting in Spain with Matt and two other wonderful photographers, alongside Sinopa Rin. The trip surpassed all of my expectations, and a lot of that was down to Matt. His organisation was so impressive and meant the trip went by seamlessly. On top of this he is kind, easy going, intelligent and exceedingly talented. I can't sing his praises enough. Thanks so much Matt!

Sinopa Rin

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Matt for 5 days in Spain recently, alongside Heather May Corvid and two other lovely photographers. Matt was so brilliant at organising the villa, transport etc so I knew exactly what was happening and what to expect well in advance. During the trip Matt was funny, professional, worked really well alongside the other photographers and created some utterly stunning images! I have absolutely no hesitations in recommending Matt to others and hope to work with him again in the future.

Thurston Lodge

Lovely to have Matt back at Thurston Lodge.

Matt is very good to work with making it a most enjoyable and rewarding experience. I look forward to his return!

Rose Magdalene Child

Another successful & highly enjoyable shoot with Matt. This time was a duo/couple shoot with my partner Leon Lift. We shot at the beautiful Thurston Lodge and it was the perfect setting and surroundings for the styles of images we created.

Matt is a very talented photographer, his images are always very well taken, crisp/sharp and his editing is flawless. I always know working with Matt that some amazing images will come from the shoot. And once again they have :D

Always a relaxed pace but extremely productive. Matt knows how to get THEE shots.

100% Recommended and I look forward to the next one,

Thanks so much
