Matthew Lea

I am a photographer and academic who comes from an editorial background, having worked on the picture desk for various national newspapers and magazines. I am an experienced photographic educator with commercial awareness and a positive, proactive and professional attitude. I aim to motivate others through careful and conscientious communication and apply a grounded common sense approach to my teaching. I maintain a keen interest in assimilating new technologies and developing private sector links to keep abreast of key market shifts. Currently, my main focus of academic research is on Therapeutic Photography within a mental health context.
