Who is Matthew?

Hi, I am Matthew, an American expat based in Amsterdam since 1997.   I enjoy capturing people in situations as they would like to be portrayed, in a positive light.   I call my photography site Noctilumens because I primarily use a Leica Noctilux lens and love to play with available light in black and white.

I am on a quest to see how I can express myself through my passion for photography.   I offer photography sessions for organisations and individuals,  so let me know if you have a special event or person to capture.   I normally like to insert myself into some outdoor play at the beach, the woods, a walk in the city, a museum with the clients and see what transpires naturally.  Recent photo assignments include Unexpect.nl, Venwoude, The Chair.nl, Barber.nl, Cityplot, Ibericus, Kinderopvang fonds, Lighthorse.nl, artist Lin de Mol, Metabolic lab, Public Broadcasting Service, Razmataz,  corporate sponsored SAP event and family portraits.     I hope that you enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them.  Photography is wonderful opportunity to connect with you and to capture an image of how you see yourself.  So, let’s plan a photo session and see what we can co-create.
