Profile

I photograph places through the people, light and details that make them real.

I’m Matt Evans, an Italian travel photographer, filmmaker and content creator creating cinematic stories where landscapes, cultures and people meet.

Hāhura is my independent travel production project: the studio where personal stories, commissioned productions and brand collaborations live together. I want commercial work to retain the same curiosity and atmosphere as personal travel photography.

Approach

Travel is the subject.
Story is the format.

I’m interested in the moments between the obvious destinations: people, craft, movement, weather, landscape and everyday life. The goal is not to make a place look perfect. It is to make it feel present.

Photography / Film / Social

One production.
Built to travel further.

A single shoot can become campaign photography, short-form film, creator content and a licensed asset library, all produced around the same visual story.

01 Photography

Hero images, documentary sequences, product-in-context frames and vertical assets.

Campaign / Social / Editorial
02 Film

Cinematic short-form, travel sequences and campaign-ready moving image.

Reels / Shorts / Brand use
03 Creator Distribution

Native storytelling through @watchmaev, built to feel part of the journey rather than an interruption.

Instagram / Stories / Community
04 Asset Library

A coordinated set of still and motion assets designed to keep working after the original post goes live.

Organic / Paid / Internal
