Matthew is a photographic artist living and working in Melbourne, Australia. Drawing on his background in History, his work focuses on the relationship between humanity and nature, specifically how the natural world is altered, changed and forced to adapt to the unexamined decisions of billions. Matthew uses the camera to look at the present as a way of reconsidering our past and bears witness to how we have created a world so uniformly out of balance.
