Matthew Wellington is a UK-based documentary photographer and videographer with a focus on people and real-world stories. His work explores social movements, subcultures, and everyday life, with an interest in how wider issues play out on a human level. Rather than staging or directing scenes, he aims to document moments as they unfold, paying close attention to context and detail.
He has worked across the UK, New York, Vancouver and Paris, gaining experience in a range of cultural and social settings. Matthew has completed a degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography, where he developed a strong foundation in visual storytelling, ethics, and technical practice across both stills and video.
His approach is practical and research-led, often spending time with subjects to build trust and understanding before photographing. He is particularly interested in long-form projects and stories that benefit from patience and consistency.
Matthew works across editorial, digital, and print platforms, and is open to collaborations with publications, organisations, and individuals who value clear, honest documentation.
