Approach to Commercial Photography
Commercial photography is planned and executed differently from consumer or personal photography.
Matt’s approach emphasises:
Understanding the client’s business objectives
Planning shoots to minimise operational disruption
Working safely and efficiently in active environments
Delivering images that are fit for commercial use and licensing
Each project is scoped based on usage requirements, deliverables, and practical constraints rather than generic packages.

This experience allows him to anticipate challenges, manage stakeholders on site, and deliver reliable outcomes for clients operating in complex environments.
