TCF Ep. 271 - Matt Stuart

Published: March 30, 2015, 1:51 a.m.

Born in 1974, Matt Stuart was raised in the leafy suburbs of Harrow, North West London. He admits to a less than distinguished school career, but was called upon aged 11 to play a trumpet solo in front of the Queen Mother. Her Majesty\u2019s reaction is not recorded.\nA little later, in 1986, Matt discovered skateboarding after watching the film \u201cBack to the Future\u201d. Skating occupied his every waking moment until 1994, when he looked up from the half-pipe and noticed that girls had got a lot more interesting. He also indulged in a brief, ill-advised affair with Kung Fu.\nMatt\u2019s father, keenly aware that his son would never be the next Bruce Lee, introduced him to photography, handing over books by Robert Frank & Henri Cartier-Bresson. Ever since then, photography has been Matt\u2019s overriding passion, although he\u2019s still quite interested in skateboards and girls. (But thankfully not Kung Fu).\nResources:\n\xa0\nhttp://www.mattstuart.com\n\xa0\nhttp://www.in-public.com\n\xa0\nhttp://www.thomasroma.com\n\xa0\nVisit The Candid Frame website and sign up for the TCF mailing list to receive your free copy of The Candid Frame: On Street Photography.\xa0\n\xa0\nhttp://ibarionex.net/thecandidframe\n\xa0\nJoin Ibarionex on April 25 for an all-day street photography workshop in Downtown Los Angeles.
