Matt Hrkac
photographer, filmmaker, writer
Whether you need a photographer for your event, or whether you want a nice photo of yourself, or if you run a business and want good brand shots – I’m the photographer for you. Likewise, if you need a stills photographer for your production or live performance, I can also accommodate.
Photography and media production, with a social conscience. I care about people, I care about our planet and natural environment and I care about creating a better and fairer society for all. I stand up for the underdog and I fight for the oppressed. It’s the right thing to do.
This sense of social responsibility also extends to my work and who I work with. As a client, whether it’s providing photography coverage for your event or producing a video or short film – the product you receive will be handled with accuracy and with ethics top of mind. Doing otherwise would be detrimental to my own reputation.
My photography work covers a range of different themes and subject matter, and my style across all of my work can be broadly described as photojournalistic – capturing people and scenes in the moment and as the action is unfolding.
Over the years, I’ve worked with numerous grassroots groups, collectives and organisations to cover their events and help bring publicity to their causes.
I shoot using the Sony A99 II and a7 IV. My work can be viewed below.
Here’s what ‘the people’ say…
We have worked with Matt a number of times now for taking photographs and video at rallies and other events. He produces stunning photographs and has a great eye for capturing the moment.
We have used Matt’s service as a photographer for a 350 Australia public event. Matt is incredibly skilled at what he does. His photos are sharp, emotive and beautifully shot. Matt approaches his work with professionalism and he is also easy to work with.

My Work
My photography style can be broadly defined as photojournalistic.
From functions, to coverage of public events and live performances, to portraits and headshots and more. I’ve also won a few awards along the way.
For me, ‘clients’ are merely people or groups I work with. I’ve worked with many people and organisations over the years and all have been very pleased with the results I’ve been able to deliver for them.
Events and Functions
I have several years of experience in capturing the energy of events and functions. From parties, to exhibitions, to book launches.
Prices start at $350.
Portraits and Headshots
Portraits and headshots for personal branding, media, campaigns and more.
Prices start at $350 for an hour long shoot.
Corporate and branding
Working with ethical businesses and organisations to elevate their brand and their products.
Bands and live performances
Capturing the raw energy of all sorts of live performances – from theatre to gigs.
Film Stills and behind the scenes
My photojournalistic photography style is perfect for capturing behind the scenes (BTS) production stills. Whether it’s for feature films, short films, television shows, music videos or any sort of other productions.
Photojournalism and documentary
Documenting events of public interest.
Films, Video and Digital Media
In addition to photography, I also work with grassroots groups, not for profits and other ethical entities to produce video and other digital media content to help promote their events and causes. This body of work, which often involves more people than just me to produce, is done and published under the MH Media brand name.
I’ve directed one short film so far, Locked On, a documentary on climate activism and direct action targeting ExxonMobil. The full film can be watched below:
