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.
