Matthew Comer is a freelance photographer born in Manchester 1981. He grew up in Whitefield with his older brother, Christian and Sister, Sharon. His mother Cherry, a fashion designer, and his father Terry, also a photographer, played a huge part in Matthew’s creativity.
He started taking photographs at rock shows in the early 2000′s as a hobby until his father saw he had an eye for it and bought him a new camera. Taking photographs at shows became an obsession and he started getting very well known under the guise of “Mayhem”. Having the privilege of photographing the likes of N*e*r*d and The Streets.
In 2009, after visiting New York Many times, Matthew & his partner Annabelle ventured on their dream trip. They drove over 11,000 miles from California to New York, stopping in small towns and cities along the way. This produced a huge body of work entitled “On The Road” which will consist of over 20 exhibitions and a book. Which also means there will be more visits to the states.
