PHOTOGRAPHY BY
MATTHEW CAWREY
Matt is a Leicestershire based performance and documentary photographer and videographer. He works closely with artists and performers across the country on projects including theatre,
dance and performance art. His ethos when it comes to documenting is to learn as much as possible in advance to gain a full understanding of the work being developed and presented. This allows him to work in the background, which ensures that he has minimal impact on the performance team, which in turn enables him to capture
the essence of the work. He always aims to approach
performances empathetically, as he believes
that his role as a documenter should have as little
impact as possible on the production process,
however some projects have actively sought his
input as an outside eye, which is something he is
very comfortable with. This work is hugely
rewarding and has given him tremendous insight
into the truly fascinating work being created
across the performance mediums with which he
has been involved.
