I visualize walks in photos, text and books.

Places, books and other diversions. My name’s Matt, or Matthew if you are my Mum, or a marketing email, being creepily familiar. I am from Bristol, England, but for a long time I’ve lived in London.

He is interested in the peripheries of the photographic process, experimenting with everything from presentation and distribution models to the chemical make up of photographic paper.

He has exhibited throughout the US and Europe, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, the Juliet Museum, the Hirshhorn, Harlan Levey Projects and many others. He has been published by the Virginia Quarterly Review, Ampersand Editions, the Fotomuseum of Antwerp and others.
