I have worked with Matthew over the last 10 years, he is a brilliant Director of Photogrpahy and lighting cameraman. In that time we have shot and edited many high end projects for commercial clients. His varied skillset has meant that he is a valued member of our RATCHET team and is the go-to supplier when it comes to filming and editing. Not only has he consistently delivered commercial work like TV ads and promotional films, but together we have also created longform original content such as documentaires and factual films. The quality of his specially shot material is outstanding and creative. Alongside his exceptional technical skills, Matthew helps create a wonderful atmosphere on set making all contributors feel at ease; a skillset much undervalued today but more important than ever when dealing with sensitive subject matter. As a director, he is my ideal DOP, someone you can trust, full of ideas and solutions, incredibly resourceful and holds himself to a high standard of excellence that translates across any crew. I dont think anyone should have a moment of hestiation working with Matthew, he will elevate any film product and enhance the production experience.

Matt and I worked together on the BBC Global News Digital Upfronts 2020. Matt is multiskilled and has a breadth of valuable knowledge. I was impressed by his ability to deploy the right kit in the best way to capture content which both had a great visual aesthetic and hit the editorial brief every time, no matter where we found ourselves filming. Matt worked tirelessly on every setup and didn't stop until he had perfected the shot. This skill and attention to detail, coupled with the fact that Matt has an enthusiastic, can-do attitude, and is very much a team player, make it an absolute pleasure to collaborate with him. I would gladly work with Matt again and can confidently recommend him as a DoP and/or Camera Operator to others.

I have worked with Matt periodically since 2017, most recently he was the DOP on feature length documentary we are working on. He provides creative solutions to production problems, is brilliant at bringing stories to life with the right visual style for the tone and mood of the narrative and his exceptional lighting skills complement this. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to camera kit and is a pleasure to work with on set. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Daniyal Harris-Vajda

I have worked with Matt on a feature documentary that I am currently directing. His technical knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise has completely elevated this film. He has been a complete pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone. My personal favourite was when I made him shoot an actuality scene for 45 mins, hand held in the blistering summer sun and he didn't have a word of complaint. His lighting and camera work on master interviews have been amazing and I can't wait to work with him again.
