Ski Holiday in Megève

Matt Christie Photo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 12:26:58 +0000

I ended up on an unexpected ski holiday last week. My niece was sadly unwell, and the trip was already paid for, so my brother invited me along. I did three ski seasons when I was much younger, but this was the first time I’d been for twenty years, so I was understandably a little […]

Fiji Day Nine

Matt Christie Photo — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 12:05:04 +0000

Final set of photos from last year’s wondrous trip to Fiji. These are from the hills just above the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort, in Nacula Bay, on Nacula Island in the Northern Yasawas. It’s about four and a half hours by boat from the mainland, so as close to the middle of nowhere as I’ve […]

Fiji Day Eight

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. […]

Sunset on Hampstead Heath

Last Saturday, a lovely friend had a birthday picnic on Hampstead Heath. We carried on till the sun went down, and were treated to a very spectacular sunset. Fortunately I had my camera with me, and was able to get some shots. There are no fancy filters here, I just set the camera up to […]

Fiji Days Five & Six

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 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 […]

Wapping Skies

Matt Christie Photo — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 07:48:33 +0000

I’m reading a book at the moment that rightly recommends that you should always go outdoors at dawn or dusk for the best shots, but it pointed out that it’s also a good idea to get out in the daytime in between storms, as the skies can be pretty impressive. Literally as I was reading […]

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 […]

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 […]
