Biography

Hi, I’m Matt Williams and I’m an adventurer, traveller, photographer and videographer; but not always in that order. I’m happiest when I get to do all four at once!
Born and bred in Queensland, I grew up in Mackay and was always exploring the great outdoors while fishing and camping. I’ve travelled extensively through Queensland from Cape York to Coolangatta.
I first picked up a camera during my university days, but it wasn’t until a trip to Birdsville and western Queensland in 2008 that the photography bug really began to bite. An iconic photo of the Birdsville Hotel, snapped on a point and shoot camera found its way into The Australian newspaper (and onto my wall at home) and I haven’t looked back since. I bought my first digital SLR camera in 2009 for a trip overseas to the UK and my photography kit has expanded along with my list of adventures. My gear has had a work out on trips to Uluru, the Simpson Desert, Western Australia and France to name but a few, all of which honed my photography skills and whet my appetite for more adventures.
I have worked as a free-lance photographer full time since 2014, specialising in outdoor, adventure and vehicle photography. I love my landscape photography and can often be found in and around South East Queensland at the crack of dawn, patiently waiting for that perfect light.
