I approached Mathieu for portrait photos to go on my graphic design portfolio website. I wanted something polished and professional that also conveyed the hands-on, craft driven way I approach my work. I couldn’t have been happier with the results. I would normally be filled with nerves being in front of a camera but Mathieu made me feel at ease, making the photoshoot a really enjoyable experience. It was really interesting to see how a real creative professional is at work and to hear him talk about it you can tell he has a genuine passion for photography. The finished photographs hit every note perfectly and I am proud to display them on my website. He even gave me a framed print which was totally unexpected and really nice personal touch. I would recommend Mathieu Decodts Photography to anyone looking for expertly produced photographs and a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

After having had the opportunity to experience many photo shoots during my career within the music industry, I recommend Mathieu Decodts as being one of the best. It’s not just about clicking the button with Mathieu - he takes an ‘holistic’ approach to the session where he makes room to discover your real objectives and personality, which are vital to a successful result. Technically speaking there is no limit as years of experience is at his fingertips using state-of-the-art equipment. It really was a seamless process to experiment with creative ideas during the shoot ‘on the fly’, as Mathieu is in complete command of his craft with many effective lighting and photographic skills under his belt. The post production process of image selection and ‘rendering’ (raw files have to be processed to manageable media file formats) was very good too, with Mathieu going that extra mile to accommodate a rather pedantic customer! In short I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Mathieu Decodts Photography and will certainly be using them again in the future.

Mathieu is an incredibly skilled photographer with an encyclopedic knowledge of the process. I worked with Mathieu when I was looking for employee portraits for my company, Strike Team Media. Mathieu brought his expertise and creative eye to the project, capturing and producing excellent photography. I've never seen a better photo of myself.

Mathieu recently took my photo for use in social media. He instantly put me at ease and started by finding out about me and my business to decide the look that would work best. He explained everything he was doing as we went along and within a few minutes we were talking and laughing freely. I would highly recommend Mathieu for his approach, attention to detail and for how comfortable the whole experience was.

I was so self-conscious at the start of my ‘50s diner’ photoshoot, but Mathieu really put me at ease and in no time, I was having a ball! I really surprised myself!

If you are looking shots for yourself, or any other type of photographs, the best is Mathieu Decodts Photography.

I have done a few model portfolio shoots with Mathieu Decodts and have always received wonderful results.
He is very easy to work with and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely suggest Mathieu to anyone looking a talented photographer and can't wait to work with him again!

I’ve worked with a number of photographers, and none compare to my shoots with Mathieu Decodts and the final results. A few years ago, I did a photoshoot after losing weight and regaining my self-confidence and following lots of compliments, I took the plunge and put them on a modelling site. Mathieu got in touch and I felt an instant connection when we first chatted; he put me at ease and our first shoot was so much fun – a lot of laughing with great pictures at the end; one of which is my absolute favourite.
I came away from the shoot happy and confident, smiling and looking forward to seeing the finished results - but I also came away with knowledge and an understanding about photography and modelling. While Mathieu works he explains what he’s doing, and I got hints and tips on posture, how to work my curvy body, and use props. I have done a few shoots with Mathieu and have loved each one. His shoots are characterised by trust, professionalism, fun, knowledge, hard work and dedication, as well as his easy-going nature and passion for his photography.
I love how he is able to find a persons passions and what makes them tick - he takes into consideration who he is working with, their abilities, worries, what they love about life and themselves, and puts them at ease while bringing out their absolute best.
