Matt Airey Photography

I specialise in on-location photography for restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues. My vibrant, warm, and colourful style works seamlessly with both established brands and independent spaces, ensuring every shoot runs smoothly while delivering clear value. With over a decade of experience across studio and location work, and a background in still life and beauty, I brings a polished, bold aesthetic to everything I create.

FEATURED CLIENTS

1. Here's some recent work created for Nightcap for there new Sports Bar offering in St Pauls, The Side Hustle.
   
   The brief was to create high-energy visuals that feel loud, immersive, nostalgic and slightly chaotic — but still good quality. My approach was to emulate the 35mm retro deposable camera style, lots of noise, distorted angles and high energy.

2. This is a body of work created for on of Stonegate Pub's brands Great Local Pubs. This was a new menu launch for 2026, heres the link
   
   The brief was to create imagery that feels warm, comforting, and indulgent capturing the essence of classic British pub grub. It was also important to reflect a sense of sharing in the photography, as these are community pubs where people come together to enjoy good food, good company, and a social atmosphere.

3. Spring menu for Pip at Treehouse Hotel Manchester
   
   During conversations about the evolving visual identity of Pip I was given the opportunity to explore some new directions and photographic styles in line with Pip's brand values. We decided to create three style pillars, "The Produce" "The Prep" and "The Final Serve" linking with the journey our food takes from the farm, or local allotment to the final finished serve in the restaurant.
   
   All three photographic styles are technically shot differently, however work together coherently in a suit of images and brand material.
