Well, hello there!
I’m a freelance photographer based in Geelong (Djilang/Djalang) on Wadawurrung Country. I work across Victoria.
My photographic areas of interest are photojournalism, documentary, live performance and production/unit stills photography. My photography style can be described as photojournalistic.
I also do videography and digital media work.
What’s in my bag?
That depends on the job at hand. For unit stills and event work, the lenses I carry are my 70-200mm f2.8 and 24mm f2 ZA, with gaps filled with my 35mm f1.4 and 16mm f2.8.
For extremely low light situations (such as a live performance indoors where camera flash can’t be used) or video work, I swap out the 70-200mm for my 85mm f1.4 ZA and 135mm f1.8 ZA, while adding in a 50mm f1.4 ZA.
I also generally carry a monopod, a HVL60RM flash and a radio flash commander. For video work, I carry a shotgun microphone and a video light.
In short, on any particular job, I carry whatever gear I need in order to get that job done.
Any questions about my work or interested in employing my services? Get in contact.
I’m a member of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA).
Cheers,
Matt

“Matt produced a series of short video clips for social media during my council election campaign. He produced a professional product with minimal direction, and a quick turnaround time. He was also really easy to work with, very responsive to queries and minor change requests. I’m really happy to recommend Matt’s work.”
