Matt grew up on farmland in a small coastal town moving to The Central Coast (aka the "Big Smoke") in his early 20s, then to the country city of Armidale in more recent times.

Coming from a professional sports background, Matt always knew his brain was wired for creativity and found an unexpected passion for photography while travelling around Australia taking holiday happy snaps on an old iPhone 5. 

This prompted him to pursue formal photography study to discover more about this fascinating craft (and also prompted some minor updates in equipment!). He continues to experiment with image, light and composition, bringing the world around him to life through a unique lens. He enjoys photographing the everyday mundane; creating art and immortalizing corners of life and community that otherwise sift into the background, unseen and unheard.
