Matt Linden

Creative Statement

Hi, I’m Matt.

I’m a commercial, lifestyle and travel photographer based between London and Helsinki, but I’m also a traveller and a dreamer – so I can often be found exploring my favourite place on earth – the Himalayas.

I completed an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication (University of the Arts London) a few years back, and realised that I have a passion for making connections with people and places that intrigue me, and then photographing them. If there’s one thing that makes me feel alive, it’s waking up when the stars are still out, hiking up a mountain, and watching the sun rise over the world.

I love to work on my own photo projects, and if I can combine that with an extended period of time in a place learning their language and culture - even better. I speak English, Chinese, and Tibetan.
