Working between New York and London, Matt Russell creates personal, evocative photographs born of a deeply felt emotional connection with his subjects, and a refined visual instinct that imbues his work with a classic, poetic elegance.

Matt's distinctive approach to lighting and composition is informed by his background in moving image and an enduring love of cinema. His creative practice is equally guided by individual instinct and a sense of collaborative exploration; although each photograph may spring from a personal artistic impulse, the discovery is made in engaging with his subject, be it a person, cuisine, or landscape, and in seeking to capture an image that speaks authentically and with immediacy.
