Matthew Shave is an award winning London based photographer and director. His love of photography began in his childhood when his father started shooting family snaps on a Polaroid land camera and he was soon captivated by the magical process of taking a photograph, waiting for the Polaroid to develop and finally pealing it apart to reveal an instant image. Matthew studied Graphic Design at Exeter College of Art and then went on to gain an M.A from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design. Matthew’s ability to seamlessly switch between shooting beauty, fashion and still life has led him to shoot and direct advertising campaigns for many prestigious brands and his work regularly appears in luxury editorials around the world.
