Fiji Day Eight

Matt Christie Photo — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 09:10:37 +0000

Towards the end of my stay in Fiji, I had a couple of days at the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort on Nacula Island in the Yasawas. Although the resort itself had building work going on, the bay, and especially the coral reef were pretty spectacular. Here’s a couple of shots of the sunset across Nacula Bay. […]

Kayleigh Pearson – Beach Shoot

Matt Christie Photo — Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:47:21 +0000

This week’s Throwback Thursday post features Kayleigh Pearson on Anfi Beach in Gran Canaria. She flew out for a couple of days shooting with Natalie Pike & Rachael Tennent, which made for an entertaining few days. This was a glamour shoot to sell on to magazines, from the days before I moved to London & […]

Fiji Day Seven

A fairly uneventful day as I was moving islands for much of it, but I still managed a few interesting photos. This is a shot of the bay where the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort is. As you can see, the bay is beautiful, with a long, white, sandy beach and fantastic coral just offshore. The […]

Fiji Days Five & Six

Matt Christie Photo — Wed, 04 Dec 2013 11:41:09 +0000

On my fifth day in Fiji, I headed out to the Octopus Resort on the amazing Yasawa islands. It’s pretty much everything you’d imagine an island paradise to be, just a few huts along the beach, each hut maybe five yards from the sea at high tide, & a mountain right behind the huts so […]

Fiji Day Three

I made a point of getting up at 5am every day in Fiji to catch the sunrise. Some days it was cloudy, but on my third day the conditions were perfect, with a few clouds in the sky for the colour to bounce off, & I was very happy to have made the effort to […]

Fiji Day Two

On my second day in Fiji I took a boat trip to South Sea Island, one of the Mamanucas. The scenery on the way over was pretty great, here’s a shot just coming out of Port Denerau. These islands are where Cast Away with Tom Hanks was filmed, they’re mostly tiny strips of land, […]

Kayleigh Pearson – Sunset Shoot

Matt Christie Photo — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:59:03 +0000

Here’s a glamour shoot from a while ago with Kayleigh Pearson out in Gran Canaria. Sunset is a magical time to shoot, but the window of opportunity to get the very best light is pretty small, so you have to work fast. The sun seems to set with alarming speed over there, & some days […]

Shoot – Rachel Cole

Matt Christie Photo — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 08:09:02 +0000

One of the photos from this shoot was my first ever published photo, so I guess it’ll always stay in my mind because of that. Rachel came out as part of an intense fortnight of shooting for publication; 12 girls in 2 weeks, out at sunrise & shooting till sunset, so long long days. There’s […]

Behind the Scenes – Six Bikinis on a Boat

Matt Christie Photo — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:30:41 +0000

This was a pilot for a TV show, I forget what, they just wanted someone to take a few behind the scenes shots. It was a shame not to pose anybody in such a great setting, but you get some great natural shots this way. It’s quite tricky shooting on a boat as the light’s […]

How I Got Started

Matt Christie Photo — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:27:34 +0000

This is something that I get asked quite a bit. Although I was always the guy with a camera on a night out, it hadn’t occurred to me that it’d be possible to do anything else with it, so it’s all been a bit of a serendipitous whirlwind. Anyway, here’s what happened… In 2005 I […]
