Hi my name is Matt Eachus, and I am The Manc Photographer.

I have been shooting for as long as I can remember, however professionally since 2011. I specialise in many fields - including the gigs, festivals, events, corporate and wedding photography.

In relation to certifications and qualifications, I am part of the Nikon Professional scheme. I obtained A levels at the highest grades in the study of Photography, although a few years back now I may add!

On the other hand, the company The Manc Photographer brand sites under, creates bespoke websites for clients across the UK. Within that field I hold an advanced MCSE, am a certified Microsoft IT professional and also have a BSC honours in Web Systems Design.
