In 2012 Matthew took up photography as a hobby after being inspired by a short digital media course in school. He began teaching himself anything he could get his hands on that related to photography. Four years later he decided to set up the brand "MRN Photography". By the end of 2017, he decided to take the plunge and make MRN Photography his full-time job. He started working for himself at only 21 years old and has gone on to work with acts like Gavin James and companies like Panasonic.
