MATT FORD Photograher Studio

HI I’M MATT FORD

I’M A MULTI DISCIPLINARY PHOTOGRAPHER, ARTIST AND VIDEOGRAPHER. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT A FOCUS ON PORTRAITURE. BUT I SHOOT EVERYTHING FROM PRODUCT AND FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY TO SCIFI LANDSCAPES AND I AM OFTEN BROUGH IN TO ART DIRECT MY COMMERCIAL WORK.

MY CAREER STARTED IN LIVERPOOL WHERE I HAD SEVERAL SOLO & GROUP, PHOTOGRAPHY & ART EXHIBITIONS. THESE EVENTS WHERE IN COLLABORATION WITH LIVERPOOL DESIGN FESTIVAL, LIVERPOOL ART MONTH. SOME OF THIS PERIOD OF WORK, SPECIFICALLY MY FASHION PORTRAITS ARE ON PERMANENT DISPLAY IN THE MUSEUM OF LIVERPOOL.

DURING MY TIME IN LIVERPOOL, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE ARTWORK FOR SEVERAL FRINGE THEATRE PLAYS, AS WELL AS PRODUCING KEY ARTWORK FOR FIVE YEARS OF THE LIVERPOOL FRINGE FESTIVAL, SHINY NEW.

I CREATED WORK FOR OTHER GRASSROOTS, COMMERCIAL AND CULTURAL EVENTS AND WAS INVOLVED IN THE TWO INAUGURAL LIVERPOOL PRIDES AND THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HOMOTOPIA FESTIVAL, WHICH WAS HOSTED BY RENOWNED FILM DIRECTOR JOHN WALTERS. ARTWORK FROM THIS NOW HANGS ON THE WALLS OF HIS HOME IN BALTIMORE.

I HAVE JUST FINISHED MY SECOND SOLO EXHIBITION SINCE RELOCATING TO LONDON, VOUYER: STORIES PORTRAIT AND SEX. A PORTRAIT EXHIBITION AND FOLLOW UP TO MY 2021 PRINTS FOR QUEERS SHOW.

I AM CURRENTLY PREPARING FOR MY THIRD LONDON SHOW VULGA! CONTINUING MY WORK WITH LONDON’S DRAG SCENE.
