Matteo Querini Crawford is a self-taught artist and photographer from Edinburgh, Scotland, currently based in London. His education is in science (BSc Zoology, MSc Environmental and Forest Management), and it is from this background that a lot of his thinking is concerned. That said, he is interested in many areas such as religion, activism, portraiture, music, subculture, documentary and ‘the road trip’, resulting in a varied back catalogue of work. Over the years, he has honed in on an approach and aesthetic to his photography that is subtle and quiet.
Please get in touch if you’d like to work together, I am up for anything that sounds fun.
