For over fifteen years, Matty Joel Chatburn has worked across fashion, editorial, and commercial photography, creating images rooted in atmosphere, character, and a strong sense of place. His work is shaped by cinema, documentary photography, and the moments that often say the most.
Born in Australia and now based in Austin, Texas, Matty approaches every project through a cinematic lens. Whether photographing a fashion campaign, a portrait, or a wedding, his focus remains the same: to create images with honesty, depth, and a sense of permanence.
His visual language draws from twentieth-century photography, natural light, and the rhythm of film.
That same perspective carries naturally into his wedding work.
Instead of approaching weddings through the conventions of wedding photography, Matty brings an editorial sensibility to the day—observing, composing intentionally, and allowing moments to unfold without unnecessary direction. The result is a body of work that feels personal, immersive, and timeless.
His commercial clients include Buck Mason, Huckberry, Tecovas, Stetson, Ford, Volkswagen, At Large Magazine, Diamond Cross Ranch, and others.×
