Matthew is a wildlife photographer and filmmaker who's work has received recognition in numerous awards, including taking the overall title of travel photographer of the year with his short wildlife documentary "Karibu Nyumbani". When Matthew isn’t capturing photographs for his print collections, he loves teaching others, and to date has taught over 1,000 people in person on his photography workshops and wildlife photography holidays to destinations including Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar, Costa Rica and Antarctica. He also makes regular visits to the Maasai Mara to work as photographer in residence at Alex Walker Serian camps.
Matthew's photography and filmmaking work focuses on telling captivating stories with attention-grabbing, eye-catching, honest visuals. He aims to use dramatic light to convey emotion in order to achieve unique, striking and inimitable photographs. Wherever possible, Matthew's preference is always to use a shorter lens and photograph from closer to his subject, to bring the viewer into their world and create more intimate feeling images.
Matthew uses his work as a tool to support wildlife and conservation efforts, donating a percentage of his print sales to Mara Predator Conservation Programme in the Maasai Mara. His recent wildlife photography exhibition in London titled 'Individuals' focuses on telling the personal stories of the animals he has spent time following in the Maasai Mara. By highlighting their unique, personal stories and showing animals to be emotional individuals rather than just an anonymous statistic in a wider population, Matthew hopes to promote a desire to protect and care for this precious wildlife.
