Matty Joel Chatburn

Matty Joel Chatburn is a fashion and editorial wedding photographer from Newcastle, Australia, now based in Austin, TX.

With a background rooted in fashion and editorial work, Matty approaches photography through the lens of story, nostalgia, and cinema. These influences shape imagery that feels timeless, emotionally resonant, and grounded in a strong sense of place. Whether documenting a wedding, directing a campaign, or capturing a portrait, his goal is consistent: to create photographs that make you pause, feel, and connect.

His work balances refined composition with authenticity, focusing on subtle gestures and details that give images their lasting impact. Matty believes the strongest photographs live in the in-between moments—those unscripted instances that reveal character and atmosphere.

He has collaborated with brands and publications including Buck Mason, Huckberry, Ford, Diamond Cross Ranch, At Large Magazine, Tecovas, Volkswagen, The Laterals Magazine, and Women’s Health. His work spans from intimate settings to expansive landscapes, always with an emphasis on clarity, connection, and narrative.
