Matthew Finn (b. 1971 UK) explores personal relationships both within the corpus of the family as well as the wider stage of personal relationships through long-term photographic projects. Finn cultivates a working practice of an auteur, in charge of all the elements of the work where the craft of the print and the process are equally important. Finn continues to make significant long-term bodies of work including his series of portraits of students, which commenced in the early 1990s and durational bodies of work that focus on the province of family life and close relationships. 

Finn’s most notable works include the thirty-one-year process of making intimate, domestic portraits of his mother and the twenty-eight years he documented his relationship with his uncle. Today Finn collaborates with family members as he pursues the universal themes of love, loss, bereavement and intimacy. Through these current and completed projects Matthew Finn has expanded the frontiers of documentary photography, bringing a new and deeply psychological reality to the genre. He continues to work in education as Senior Lecturer in photography at Arts University Bournemouth. 

Matthew was the 2017 winner of Photo Oxford Festival’s Open Call, he is also the recipient of the Jerwood/Photoworks Award 2015 and has published 2 monographs; Mother (Dewi Lewis, 2017) and School of Art (Stanley/Barker, 2019).
