PROVIDING MODEL PORTFOLIOS, PHOTOGRAPHY & STUDIO LIGHTING TUITION Hello There! I'm Matt, I'm 38 and a professional photographer who has completed a variety of assignments for a number of clients in fashion, film, communications and advertising. I'm a photography graduate from the London College of Communication, earning a distinction. I am also a visiting lecturer at the University of the Arts, London. I have been both exhibited and published, for everything from personal work to work completed for London Fashion Week. I shoot tests for some of the country's leading model agencies, some of the biggest names in modelling & fashion. I outfit models with professional portfolios at a very reasonable price, and due to my experience shooting portfolios for top agencies, I know what is required to give you the best 'look' possible. Please check my online presence for more work... www.mattthompson.co.uk

Comments:
Model Portfolios: This is a great investment for aspirational models - whether freelance or agency. Better images mean you can charge more, and even better still potentially get your foot through the door at an agency. There are no guarantees that doing TF in the hope of getting the 'look' that agencies, publishers and photographers are looking for will work. Even if you do eventually get what you want, the process takes a long time. Whether you're totally new to this or you're just wanting to give your portfolio a jolly good boost, I offer portfolio packages to suit your requirements with a professional set up & make up artist - you'll also have a great day! Whether it's fashion, lingerie, beauty or art nude there are affordable packages to choose from that will suit your budget. Why take the risk when you can cut to the chase & get exactly what you and the agencies are looking for at a really affordable price? These packages are also perfect for freelance models too! The Packages: Bronze (ideal for model/actor headshots): One look from the MUA Choice to shoot either indoor or outdoor Unlimited outfit changes 4 retouched images Whole session lasts approx. 2 hours - £300 Silver (ideal for a portfolio boost): One look from the MUA Choice to shoot either indoor or outdoor Unlimited outfit changes 6 fully retouched images Whole session lasts approx. 3 hours - £400 Gold (the mega portfolio boost!): Two looks the the MUA Choice to shoot both indoor and outdoor Unlimited outfit changes 8 fully retouched images Half day (4 hours) - £500 Platinum (Complete portfolio and model start-up package): Three looks from the MUA Choice to shoot both indoor and outdoor Unlimited outfit changes 12 fully retouched images Coaching and advice from a professional freelance model Full Day (6 hours) - £600 Feel free to message me for details! :) Photography and Studio Lighting Tuition: I run one-on-one tuition days (I also do groups - maximum 3 people). I structure the day around your specific needs, whether it's camera basics and/or studio lighting. Perfect for beginners or intermediates. User-friendly worksheets will be provided for you to take home with you as a helpful prompt for when you hit the studio for yourself! You will also be able to take home your photos afterwards.

I highly recommend Matt. I've now worked with him on a couple occasions. He is professional and fun to work with. I felt relaxed around him instantly. He's great at giving directions, but he also encourages me do my own poses to allow my personality to shine through. I have really learnt a lot from him. His images of me have really pushed my portfolio along - big style!! Thank you again Matt! :)

I had a fantastic few days of shooting with Matt in London last week. Not only was he incredibly helful, but his concepts behind the shots we created were very inspiring and of course, his photography is beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing the photos in their finished forms!

I had the pleasure of working with Matt and his assistant yesterday. I had a lovely time shooting with him, he was very creative and focused on the technical quality of what we were doing at the same time... He is both clearly passionate about what he does and professional, well-organized. I have hardly ever worked with anyone who was this keen on everyone being well-prepared for the shoot and that's a trait I'd love to see more often... From what I saw of the proofs after our shoots the results proved he was right to take the trouble of preparing well. Matt was very patient with me and did a great job communicating with me before the shoot. He's clever, likable and jolly good company and I would definitely recommend working with him.
Thank you Matt!

I had a very enjoyable shoot with Matt yesterday. He has excellent pre-shoot communication, is organised, professional and gives great direction. The shoot was relaxed and fun and we created some wonderful images.

A very talented photographer I would highly recommend!

Had a really fun shoot with Matt.
His pre shoot communication was superb!
The shoot was very organised, with ideas already planed out well in advance.
He is a real perfectionist and knows what he what's to achieve.
Based on the aforementioned shoot, I would definitely work with Matt again. Highly recommended!
