Matthew Gordon: about me

BIOGRAPHY:
I work telling stories though photography, video and television.

I was born in the 1970's when everyone had a story to tell. My influences ranged from the photojournalism of the Sunday Times Magazine in it’s heyday, to the music climbing the charts. I have taken photographs since my teens, and despite studying engineering at University spent much of my time in a darkroom and University TV studio.

 

PHOTOGRAPHY:
My Photography career began in Scotland when I spent two years as the photographic editor, journalist and photographer at the university newspaper: Gaudie. Since then I have studied  through adult education, The Royal Photographic Society - achieving an LRPS distinction, short courses at Camberwell school of art and the Tate Modern, as well as numerous workshops and photography events.

My pictures have been published in four collections and exhibited several times, including in 2017 as part of  the first Photography on a Postcard  exhibition and the Magnum Photo's Print Swap with Martin Parr and David Hurn exhibition. I was also part of a ground breaking exhibition of mobile phone photography 'All Tomorrow's Pictures' at London's Institute of Contemporary Art in 2007. I have photographed artists, actors and chefs while taking promotional stills for various clients. ​I am a member of Godalming Photographic Club 
​and the online Urban Photographers Club.


TELEVISION: 
I am an award winning Television Executive Producer specialising in creating factual and documentary programming for major UK broadcasters and streamers.
My career in television started with an extra-curricular practical course at University. On graduation I sought out employment in TV production. It seems my mis-spent youth playing computer games was an advantage, when I began working on Saturday lunchtime review show 'Movies, Games and Videos' for ITV. Since that time I have made award winning documentaries and popular factual series for Amazon Prime Video, BBC1, BBC2, Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV1, ITV2, SKY, UKTV, Fiver, Discovery, The Crime & Investigation Network, Lifetime and Paramount+.
