I spy...
I spy with my little eye... A shiny little alleyway, gleaming with wintery rain. A glowing creperie, full of the scents of coffee and burnt sugar. Woollen coats suspended above long boots, dodging the puddles. Silk flowers in a little row, outside a boutique with doilies on the floor. A bright, warm space full of pictures of the city I love...

Shooooots in the City... Should be called Hooots in the city...!
Did you know that In July this year Matt Irwin is holding one of his joyous photography courses...
Shoots in the City is a dynamic photography course that runs 4 evenings in the month and for 3 hours each session...
It's a great way to learn to use your camera, learn more about your camera and gain the knowledge needed to shoot on manual all the time and really control the outcome of your photographs.
Matt has been photographing for 20 years and it is safe to say he has it down!
I listened in on the last course Matt held in March and it was great.
Very fun, informative, relaxed and all the students left with a big smile.
So be brave! you could be taking photo's like this in no time...
There are only 8 spots available for July so don't hesitate and contact us at matt@mattirwin.com.
You'll never know if you never go..

Owl's sunday word.
Photography takes an instant out of time...
And some of the photography we have here in the gallery are photographs of things that no longer exist.
Things like beloved street art, buildings, people.
Matt Irwin's photography feels like a memory.

Owl spies some tiny canvases!
Our very clever production team have created another marvel - a miniature canvas that you can WEAR! The tiny artworks are mounted on a badge pin, and at only $35 you could start a collection... I am only sad that owls don't wear jackets, and so I have nowhere to wear mine! Perhaps an ear piercing....
