Matt Sherlock

I am a cinematographer, filmmaker, and explorer with a restless curiosity for the world around me. Having developed a love for cinematography from a young age, I bring a fresh, instinctive perspective to the way I shoot. I strive to combine technical precision with an authentic desire to explore the framing of the world as I see it. Drawn to beauty in unexpected places, my work is gritty, naturalistic, and rooted in real moments always in service of the story. Whether it’s narrative, documentary, or branded work, I bring a collaborative spirit, efficiency, and a relentless drive to create impactful imagery visuals that resonate.

 

A true multi hyphenate, I thrive at the intersection of roles DP, director, BTS producer, and hands-on problem-solver. I am a multifaceted DP, director, producer, content creator, I thrive when wearing multiple hats. I’ve been called a true jack-of-all-trades, skilled in camera work, behind the scenes, stills, DIT, loading, editing, droning, and assisting, and am always keen on using multi hyphenate abilities to bring a fresh perspective to a shoot while refining my skills.

I’ve also earned my stripes scouting for various production houses.  Often bringing fresh, creative perspectives to location scouting and shoot planning, with a DP’s eye for capturing spaces effectively, and shooting for the treatment board.

People say I have a knack for problem-solving under pressure, whether it’s troubleshooting on-set tech issues, streamlining workflows as a DIT, or stepping in to assist with lighting and grip when needed. My adaptability and hands-on experience across various production roles make me an invaluable asset to any team, and shoot. This versatility allows me to adapt quickly, think on my feet, and bring creative solutions to any challenge.

​

Given my background in various other departments of filmmaking, I understand the production process intimately, always considering production needs when developing a gear list or making logistical choices. I have experience with remote shoots and livestreaming, and I’m comfortable working outdoors, never shying away from a shoot that requires a hike, a climb, or extreme conditions to get the shot. At my core, I’m an explorer, both behind the lens and beyond it. Whether directing, creating content, scouting locations with a filmmaker’s perspective or troubleshooting on-set, I bring energy, adaptability, and a passion for visual storytelling to every project. Let’s create something unforgettable- bring it on.
