Matt Davis
I create powerful and award-winning portraits for advertising and design agencies across the UK and worldwide. My journey began with teaching English in Japan and exploring war zones before transitioning to commercial banking. However, my creative urges led me to leave the corporate world and start assisting in photography.
Twelve years later, my work is represented by a gallery alongside industry leaders, and I've been shortlisted for the AOP awards over 20 times. I've executed outdoor campaigns for clients like Adidas, Network Rail, Silent Night, and Liverpool FC, with my work featured in Campaign and Creative Review.
Known for my easygoing nature and calmness under pressure, I ensure energy remains high on shoots, despite my assistants' occasional disagreements about my banter. My portraits, characterized by their energy and unique storytelling, are crafted with cinematic light and meticulous attention to detail, helping clients stand out with innovative photography.
My extensive client list includes 188Bet, Adidas, Arsenal FC, Asda, Balfour Beatty, Bowmore Distillery, Bupa, Brentford FC, Channel 4, Channel 5, England and Wales Cricket Board, English National Opera, The Forestry Commission, Gap, Grand Central Trains, Greggs, HSBC, Jameson, Liverpool FC, Muller, Medela, National Geographic, Network Rail, Newcastle Building Society, Opera North, The Guardian, The NHS, Prudential, RBS, Scottish Widows, Siemens, Silent Night, Soreen, Spoke, Warburtons, The White Company, and Wren Kitchens.
