Hello again

Image description

Valley View, NV

It’s been a while! I hope this finds you well.

Like many, I had to hit pause for a while from 2020 — but in 2023, I finally made it back to the USA for another trek. Some of the new images now feature in my Lost America series, with more to come — both for that project and Desert Modern, which focuses on Palm Springs.

After such a long departure from communication, I’m hoping to send updates like this quarterly — nothing too frequent, I promise! No inbox bombardments, just the occasional note when there’s something worth sharing.

I’ve also been working on giving the website a bit of a facelift. Feel free to take a fresh browse...

Recognition

Buried Car, CA

I’m pleased to share that several images have been acknowledged across a number of photography awards — a rewarding affirmation after stepping back for a few years. These include 1839 Awards, where my images were recognised with both Discovery of the Year and International Discovery of the Year; Australia's Top Emerging Photographers, where they received the Landscape Winner title; Muse Photography Awards, where they were named Silver Winner; and British Photography Awards and Head On Photo Awards, where they were Finalist and Semi-Finalist respectively — along with numerous other honourable mentions and recognitions.

Open Editions

Twin Palms, Palm Springs

I’m excited to introduce a new range of Open Edition prints — accompanying photographic studies drawn from the archives of larger projects.



Open Editions offer a more accessible way to enjoy selected works — ideal for those who appreciate high-quality art but may not yet be collecting editions.



As a thank you to everyone who follows and subscribes, I’m offering free worldwide shipping on all Open Edition prints. Your support means a lot — it helps me keep making and sharing new work.



Launching with Palm Springs, more images and projects will be added over time.

Thanks so much for following the journey so far — and a special thanks to everyone who’s supported me along the way. I’m looking forward to sharing more soon.

Matt
