MANCHESTER
Matt Stansfield
I was introduced into photography at an early age, inspired my my dad who worked in the photographic industry. His work took us to Abidjan, Ivory Coast where we lived for several years. An incredible experience that helped shape my love for travel & its connection with photography.
Back in the UK, I would spend hours in the dark-room learning about developing & printing at his photo processing business. Surrounded by rolls of film, manual cameras & the smell of developing chemicals, my passion for photography grew.
My early influences came from the many poster catalogues & coffee table books dotted around our studio space. We sold poster prints from all the great photographers & I was obsessed with the work of Cartier-Bresson, Avedon, Bob Carlos Clark, Wily Ronis, Doisneau, Terry O'Neill & Herb Ritts. My work has lead me to shoot for global brands and I continue to be excited by new challenges and projects.
