A CINEMATIC APPROACH

More than a portrait. It’s a story.

Inspired by film, fine art and the landscapes of Dartmoor, my studio work focuses on atmosphere, emotion and visual storytelling.

Rather than stiff poses or generic studio imagery, sessions are designed to feel expressive, relaxed and visually distinctive.

KIND WORDS

  • Matt is incredible behind the camera and he put my daughter at ease when taking the photo’s. He takes time with making sure the backdrop and lights are perfect for every pic he takes. My daughter has had many headshots taken by various photographers, however Matt is the best by far for being meticulous with his work and more importantly, for putting the models at ease and making it fun.

    — Tania

  • We had the best time at Matts studio. My daughter had some headshots done, he put her totally at ease and was a true professional. I would highly recommend.

    — Lisa

  • My daughter needed new headshots but I was struggling to find a photographer until her drama teacher recommended Matt. Not only was he absolutely fantastic to work with (he made my daughter feel very comfortable and she greatly enjoyed the session) but the resulting pictures were absolutely beautiful. He was very accommodating and ensured we got what we needed from the shoot. We will absolutely be using MJC Photography for all our headshot and other photo needs moving forward. Can't recommend enough!
