Jonathan Matthey

Jonathan Matthey (Scotland 1985)
Photographer based in Barcelona.

Graduated from University Of Glasgow, his work focuses on black-and-white portraiture. His last series using analog processes are raw and stripped down. A study in human struggle, angst, and internal battles. His portraits are minimal with emotional weight. There are no distractions — just grain, contrast, and silence.

Inspired by photographers like Irving Penn, Avedon, Gordon Parks, and Steve McQueen, his portraits focus on presence over polish.
