With a spring in our step, despite creaking bones and looming surgery, it’s time to break open 2020 in style. No time for procrastination, time to get the wheels back in motion. So what better way than to flip the lense cap off of Take 5 and introduce Matyas Paul to the project. Mat’s selection of images pulling on his love of fashion, architecture and portraiture. Previous client work includes our friends Main Source and Ageless Galaxy.
In his own words…
Matyas Paul is a freelance photographer from Prague, currently based in London and Norwich. His main body of work is based around the things he loves - food, people and fashion.
