Mat Lo Photographer as a kid

Welcome! It's wonderful to share my work with you and I hope you find as much enjoyment viewing my portfolio as I had in creating it.

My passion for filmmaking and photography began when I was a small child, and ever since then I've been trying to tell interesting stories and capture beautiful images.

Once I'd earned my degree studying film and television production at a university in England I swiftly moved to Vancouver. I had fallen in love with the Canadian culture and landscape during an student exchange to the University of Regina.

It was here in Vancouver that I began working in all areas of film and photography, both in front and behind the camera.

I'm amazed at the talent coming out of Capilano University's acting programs this year, and honoured to have been a part of their branding class taught by @pamelawise. Here's @kurtisdaoust in one of his new headshots that we produced during the course.

Here is the top 50% of the half image that I posted a few days ago. In order to view it's completeness...you know what to do.
It may seem effortless, but it takes immense courage to perform for an audience. Runway, stage, film set or casting room, it's all the same. If you do it with 100% confidence, they'll love you for it. But if you don't, they'll criticize you, reject you, ridicule you and tear your dreams apart. I applaud any model, actor or musician that hasn't given up yet.
