Politics and current affairsPortraits for Public Life

Mat is fascinated by the political process and enjoys working with politicians of all persuasions. Sitters include Baroness Hale, former President of the Supreme Court; Lord Dyson; Alex Salmond, former First Minister of Scotland; and, over the years, a handful of MPs.

Much of this work happens in Westminster and the Inns of Court: private commissions, and photography for magazines and journals.

People in public life rarely have long to spare, so we plan carefully, set up before you arrive and work around your diary, in your office, your chambers or a London location of your choosing.

Portraits for Public LifeWho it suits

Politicians, peers and judges; commentators, journalists and policy people; and the magazines, journals and organisations that commission portraits of them.

We're strictly apolitical: whoever you are and whatever your view, you get the same care. Read about an afternoon with Alex Salmond on the blog.
