Jonathan Matthey ( Scotland 1985 )
Film / Photographer
Currently working on a short film about Chatarreros. Always drawn back
to the human form and black and white portraiture. His last photo
series using analog processes are raw and stripped down, visually
minimal yet heavy 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.
