I'm Embarking on a world tour to photograph the ordinary and extraordinary; a passionate People/Street Photographer. The hatch, match and dispatch - the Human Condition & everything in between.

Please visit me at mattbentleywallsphotography.com to see a glimpse of my endeavours.

I'm fairly new to CouchSurfing but am greatly excited about meeting new people and cultures along the way.

I'm an open, honest and respectful person; most people consider me easy going and considerate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To fulfil my passions - travel and photography, to explore new countries and cultures and meet people from varying backgrounds in my quest to photograph and document the world. I have always received amazing generosity from people around the world and hugely believe in repaying the kindness. My door is always open (when I'm not away), great espresso coffee always on tap.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes are eclectic to say the least; Jazz, Rock/Lou Reed, B.B. King, Talking Heads to Nina Simone and probably everything in between.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to single one out. Maybe worked with some of the top photographers in the world??? I used to be a Sports TV cameraman (15 years) and have filmed many famous sporting greats.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a very experienced photographer and a good communicator. Would be ecstatic to share, discuss and workshop all things related to reportage photography.

Why not practice your English? Conversational English always available.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an open minded and gregarious kind of guy, engaging but relaxed and laid back some say.

I'm able to have a conversation with pretty much anyone but I'm also able to listen and respect boundaries.
