Hi I'm Matt, I'm an experienced amateur photographer with a passion for perfection.

I've been a shutter bug for over 8 years working mostly in social event photography, covering music and nightclub events for promoters and artists/musicians/djs. I also do portfolio work for DJs, and these pictures tend to be used in print and online.

My pictures have appeared on DontStayIn.com, Harder Faster, and The DJ Book. I've also been in print and even press on the odd occasion.

DJs that have graced my lens include Judge Jules, JFK, Mark Hill (Artful Dodger), Eddie Halliwell, Graham Gold, Darren Tate, Dale Corderoy, and Michael Woods to name a few.

I also love to regularly head out with the camera and capture landscape, urban, building and seaside photography. I'm very creative in the angles and shots I capture, and very selective with images that make the grade.

Many years ago I trained to be a model, but didn't take it any further. But it was a good experience nonetheless.

I'm keen to work with amateur and experienced models, male or female, as well as bands, musicians, singers, and DJs. I strive for quality in my work in every aspect, and my tools of choice include Nikon Pro equipment, Adobe Photoshop (CS3), and Adobe Premiere (CS5 for video work).

By day I'm a professional IT Consultant, web developer, entrepreneur, and broadcaster. Find me online by Googling Matt Auckland, I'm the whole first page :)
