Documenting the experience.
Jake Matthews is a Travel & Commercial Photographer, creating images built to move people. Shot across 65+ countries.
This is my life’s practice
Photography is how I slow down, pay attention, and be a witness to the beauty of the world.
“If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.” — Willy Wonka
“We hired 15 different creatives to make content for a campaign for a new hotel we were launching. Jake’s content was our favorite, and most on brand by far!”
— Tempo by Hilton
“We’ve had Jake update our media annually for the past 5 years. He gives us social content, photography, video, and drone work. And it lasts us the entire year. We’re always pleased with his work.”
— Kapawi Eco Lodge, Amazon, Ecuador
