There’s nothing more fascinating than looking at candid shots of the unassuming public. Those shots become even more interesting when a skilled street photographer finds the sweet spot timing of the perfect juxtaposition. Matt Stuart, is one of those photographers. Raised in North West London, and after some time on the skateboard, Matt attended the School of Visual Arts in New York and discovered his passion. Now back living in London, Matt hits the streets on a regular basis, for his own work, or for commissioned images.

Matt was also commissioned by the Tate Modern in London, to photograph museum goers…
