This native, young photographer delivers his elegant photographic work from his home country of South Africa, Cape Town.

Thomas manipulates the simplicity of a naturalistic photograph and uses it fully to his advantage. His work appears to return to the straightforward process of the photographic medium, relying upon classic techniques of good lighting, refined angles and a true beautiful aesthetic.

Restoring a traditional method, Thomas has the necessary blank slate to twist his subject into any stylistic direction. In his most recent jewellery series he works with an unexpected and surrealist edge that continues to celebrate the success of his polished and definitive style.

 “I wanted to get beautiful pieces of jewellery on a beautiful girl and give it a dark and slightly surreal twist. I originally wanted to fit more concept into the shoot, but on the day I realised that the girl so great and the jewellery so graphic that I should not overcomplicate it”– Matthew Paul Thomas
