Matt Brandon :: David duChemin

Matt Brandon has been shooting pictures since he was 10 years old with his father's Cannonet QL rangefinder. He and his dad processed his first images in a darkroom built under the basement stairs. Once hooked, he went on to pursue photography in depth at university. Matt's Kashmir Himalayan trekking company, Frontier Treks & Tours, has been a perfect outlet for his photographic passion. Matt has a special eye for environmental portraiture; his work is currently being published in his first book: "Kashmir: Mystery."

Matt's images have been in Indian embassies around the world in a travelling exhibition on Kashmir. His images have been used by the BBC, Honda Motor Corporation, and Bombadier Transport Corporation. His photographic pursuits have taken him to India, Indonesia, Thailand, Maldives, Philippines and Malaysia. Matt has lived with his wife and daughter in Srinagar, Kashmir, India for the last 11 years.
