In his last year of University he produce unique pieces of artwork called "Mechanical Landscapes" photographing crushed cars and changing their colours and texture, the University bought one of his works for their personal collection. Matthew was then asked to exhibit his works at the Surrey Graduate's exhibition. In February 2007 Lloyds TSB exhibited his "Mechanical Landscape" work in London.

After his degree he went travelling for 7 months around the world on his own and gained stronger experience in photography. His latest photographic collection is called "Fraser's Shipwreck" using sepia colour and making the pictures more contrast, allowing the picture become more rustistic.
