Matthew Holloway

Hi! I’m Matt Holloway, an award-winning photographer and filmmaker currently studying Press and Editorial Photography at Falmouth University. My passion lies in storytelling through images, and I’m dedicated to helping others find their creative voice through photography.

My lessons are practical, hands-on, and tailored to your individual needs—whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills. I believe that learning photography should be both enjoyable and rewarding, which is why I focus on making each session engaging and informative. We’ll cover everything from the basics of composition, lighting, and camera settings to more advanced storytelling techniques, like crafting compelling photo essays and using visual narratives to convey emotion and meaning.

I structure my lessons around your goals and interests, starting with an introductory session to understand your current skills and aspirations. From there, I design a personalized plan that suits your pace and ambitions. Each lesson includes a combination of practical demonstrations, creative exercises, and constructive feedback to help you grow as a photographer. I also encourage students to share their work and discuss their ideas openly, fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment.

My experience in the field is diverse and extensive. I’ve created impactful visual stories from around the world, including documenting community resilience in Thailand and the lives of Ukrainian refugees in the UK. My work has been recognized with the “Best News Single” award from Falmouth University, highlighting my commitment to creating meaningful, high-quality content.

Whether you want to learn the technical fundamentals or dive deeper into documentary storytelling, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My goal is to help you gain confidence behind the camera and develop your own unique style while having fun along the journey.

Let’s work together to take your photography to the next level! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book your first lesson.
