Matthew Joseph

London

Whether it is utilising the unique environment he finds his subject in, or focussing on the intimacy of a vulnerable face, Matthew Joseph has a deep passion for people and their stories; this is fundamental to his approach on portraiture. Cinematic, bold, and dramatic are words often used to describe his style, but it is honesty and authenticity which are the primary inspiration for any of his shoots. The final image must reflect the truth - of that moment or of the surrounding situation, and a deep understanding of lighting helps him portray this honesty in a fresh creative manner.

He has recently had portraits featured in The Times, The Guardian and British Airways Magazine and enjoys building long-term relationships with his commercial clients as he is commissioned to bring his unique take on portraiture into the advertising, music and corporate worlds as well as the charity sector.

Matthew is based in London but enjoys following his work around the world.
