Matt patterson
photography
Matthew Patterson is a photographer who captures moments of intensity and emotion. Working in sports and portraiture, he focuses on decisive moments where movement and expression intersect, creating authentic, grounded visual narratives.
In sports, the outcome is made up of countless fleeting moments; a split-second decision, a burst of effort, a subtle expression of determination. My photography captures these moments, freezing them in time so their energy, emotion, and significance can be experienced again and again. Through each image, I aim to show that the small, decisive instants are what define the game, and why moments matter.

In every portrait, there is a moment that reveals something essential about a person; a fleeting expression, a subtle gesture, a hint of emotion. My photography seeks to capture these moments, preserving the authenticity, character, and presence that might otherwise go unnoticed. Each image is an opportunity to tell a story, showing the depth and humanity of the individual in front of the lens.
