About me

My name is Matthew, I run Behind The Lens Photography and I'm passionate about, well... photography. I love photography with all its shapes, colours, creativity but most of all its ability to connect.

I love capturing people doing their thing, from partying and acting to doing sport or just relaxing. From time to time I scale tall buildings (literally) and run workshops and Instawalks to share and learn.  I have been actively taking pictures since 2006, although photography has interested me since my teenage years.

My experience lends itself to working in low-light conditions without a flash; outdoors or indoors at events and functions and amongst children of all ages. I primarily work in the Gauteng area but have done work all over South Africa.
