PHOTOGRAPHER & VISUAL ARTIST

Hi! I’m Matus, an internationally published photographer and visual artist based in Greece with over 13 years of experience in photography, watercolor & ink painting. I work with passionate people and brands who value good design. Creative photography will make you look professional and lets you stand out above your competitors. Together, we can develop the perfect visuals for the press, your website, and social media!






I’m currently based in Crete, Greece. And I travel often while working as a content creator for different clients.
Sharing is caring, and in the 21st century it’s quickly becoming the norm in our online world. More and more often we are looking for information online, be it about a business or an individual.  If you don’t have an attractive online presence, you’ll struggle to engage with your audience. You will have a difficult time to grow and present a professional image in your industry. Let me help you with that! Contact me through the button below and I’ll get back to you right away!






PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY


People are books. It takes time to find the right page, to get to know a person. Sometimes eternity, sometimes a split-second. These are the moments I am looking for.








DANCE & THEATRE PHOTOGRAPHY


“I think it provides a service to keep the search alive in a culture, which has engineered an environment which requires physical and sensual suppression to exist in.”
“Solo dancing does not exist”

Dance is a big challange for me. As a long-time student of capoeira and relatively new to contact improvisation, I still find hard to let my rigidity go. I have to go through the labyrinth every time to surrender and find the joy. 

Thanks to my connection with movement, I am able to capture when others engage in corporal dialogues. These are imprints, frozen or blurry words from an (un)conscious conversation and a stream of expressive search for connection. I have been working with various dance schools in Portugal and Greece, taking care of their professional photography.

STREET & DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY


Monuments burn into moments. A document of our times, our customs, our fashion, habits and foibles in a set timeframe. Telling many small stories with a single image.
It is so exciting to document life, or an event as a participant. I love searching for elements that add to the image, checking the background and making it add to the subject instead of detracting from it, waiting for the right position, gesture, light, and crafting the image instead of just pressing the button. I shoot for clients who want spontaneous images from their events to share intense and captivating stories.








MUSIC & STAGE PHOTOGRAPHY


How do you transform something that unfolds with time into a still image?

I love working with music artists, planning and taking creative press shots, artistic portrait photography, and documenting their stage acts.  I always make sure to get to know my client’s personality and the style they desire to create the perfect portraits for their album covers, advertising and press.
