First off I should apologise for not posting for a while. With the stress of moving house, being overworked and a generally busy social calendar I just haven’t found the time! Hopefully that’ll change from here on in, especially as winter approaches and shooting gets harder – you already know I’m a fair weather photographer! […]
The weather has been pretty awesome this month, which is very unusual for this part of the world. In the UK, even in summer, we seem to get a few days of sun at most before it’s followed up with a week of misery and rain. For whatever reason the weather has really been kind […]
If you read any photography magazines or blogs these days you could be fooled into thinking that the secret to better photographs is to buy the latest expensive camera that’s fresh on the market. Deep down, I think we all know that this isn’t the case, but we choose to carry on lying to ourselves […]

I am hopelessly in love with an inanimate object. The Ricoh GR is the object of my affections. She’s been in my life since August last year and I’ve loved every minute we’ve spent together. I honestly thought I’d found a camera I could love forever. Alas, she is a heartbreaker. I love the 28mm […]
Today I wanted to talk a little bit about why I chose to shoot in colour. I recently made the acquaintance of Josh White, a Canadian street photographer living in Seoul, South Korea. His black and white images are grainy, gritty and full of high contrast punch and he’s a photographer I’ve admired the work […]
First off, I guess an introduction is as good a place to start as any. Hi, my name is Matt. I was 28 years old at the last count. I was born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent in the UK. I now live in the historical city of Chester with my fiancee. I’m a design engineer […]
