Our People

Matt Coomber-Such is a performing arts photographer based in Cromer, Norfolk, whose work is shaped by a lifelong connection to theatre and live performance. Before becoming a photographer, Matt built a successful career in the theatre, spending more than fifteen years working as a lighting designer and technical manager.

His journey into photography began through a desire to document his own productions. Frustrated by the challenge of finding photographers who truly understood the complexities of live performance and stage lighting, he picked up a camera and started capturing shows himself. What began as a practical solution soon developed into a passion and, ultimately, a career.

Today, Matt specialises in photographing theatre, dance, music, and live events across Norfolk, Suffolk and the UK. Working alongside many creative arts organisations, Matt is particularly interested in the stories that emerge through live performance, and preserving moments that would otherwise disappear. Working in a documentary style, he aims to capture events as they unfold naturally, creating honest and authentic images that reflect the atmosphere, emotion, and energy of live performance.
