My name is Matthew Reed, I am a freelance film maker and photographer.
I work in an unscripted, documentary style with an eye for beautiful light and composition.
Keeping my kit and crew as light as possible in order let the story unfold organically and keep the subject comfortable enough to express themselves authentically.
I produce, shoot and edit all my videos and photos delivering web/print ready content.
