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...

Rainy Chinatown + good friends = Double Happiness!

Rain on St Kilda...

Ch-ch-ch-cheque it out!


We all know Matt is amazing at using rain to really emphasise the beauty of the architecture in his photography, but now you too will be wishing for rain! Introducing... THE RAIN CHEQUE!

It’s no ordinary rain cheque: this $20 cheque is valid only when it’s raining (or when rain has been forecast). So don’t let the rain keep you indoors, come to the Matt Irwin Gallery in Scott Alley and spend it on anything worth $100 or more! 


Rainy days are a great time to be in the city - cosy cafes, less crowds and a great discount at Matt Irwin Gallery! But get in soon, the cheque is valid only until 30th of November 2010. So quick, download your Rain Cheque!

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..
