Being a photo it draws me in and I feel I am there, walking down a track and wanting to find out what is in the distance. It brings the countryside to my home in a way that a painting, however accomplished it is, can never do. It brightens my home. read less

We went through some extra theory behind the use of settings on the camera before putting them into practice. He ensured that I understood how the settings affected the pictures both in theory and practice. His explanations were clear and easy to follow. I now just need to get more experience in using the skills. I would have no Hesitation in recommending him. read less

He explains the theory clearly and then you put it into practice. He even helped me pick out a new lens as I had no idea what to look for specifically.

Very engaging workshop. Matt was knowledgeable and explained things well. Thanks for reigniting my interest in photography.

Photo looks amazing. Perfect gift, will be back for more!!

We are absolutely thrilled to bits with the result now it’s up! Matt offered expert advice about framing options, was patient and super helpful and even bought a copy of Serenity to see it in situ. The most difficult thing about the purchase was working out which of his excellent shots we loved the most! A superb and gifted photographer who made the business transaction an absolute breeze. Massive thanks, Matt! read less

If we had had the money at the time we would have bought four or five pictures without thinking. Four months on and we have ! Stunning landscapes, competitively priced and a framing service available if required. Local scenes make Matt's work even more relevant and interesting. We have no hesitation in recommending Matt to anyone interested in talent. read less

These are mainly really beautiful immersive landscapes, one you felt you were almost stepping into, and there were some beautiful and artistic shots of the sea too.
He's a very generous and kind man with a lot of time for people interested in photography, he chatted away to me about his photos and took a look at a few that I offered to show him too.
I bought a couple of his prints for presents and inspiration, I was able to afford two beautiful prints as some were discounted to allow Matt to expand his portfolio. These are really lovely quality and the first that I've ever been able to afford to own. Both were beautifully mounted and finished. It felt great to be able to support a local photographer. Matt also teaches photography, and I can imagine that he would be a very good person to learn from as he was very kind and patient with me.
I wish Matt all the best with his career, good luck :) x read less

Matt was not only very knowledgeable but able to put this across in a manner that my daughter easily understood (even I a non-photographer did!). He was well prepared and we were given a handout with all the info discussed so we could refer back to tit and after a quick try out of what we had learnt on hove seafront he also kindly said that we could always contact him if we got stuck or had a quick question he could answer via email.
Overall a great 2 hours, good value for money and would 100% recommend booking a lesson or 2. Thanks Matt I'm sure we'll be back for another lesson. Nicky and Safia read less
