Meet Matt Porteous: the Prince and Princess of Wales’ trusted photographer who captured Prince George’s birthday portrait

Matt Porteous, an ocean and wildlife photographer from Jersey whose ‘side hustle’ has been capturing the Wales family for seven years.
I used photography as a way to express how I saw the world.
As well as beingan award-winning ocean photographer, he is a sought-after photographer of society weddings (just ask the Marquess and Marchioness of Blandford, or Ellie Goulding and Casper Jopling.)
He is simply adamant he’s ‘telling positive stories’, whether he’s shooting the Waleses at home, making a film about protecting sharks or telling the story of French fishermen invading the shores of Jersey.
So when I ask how an ocean photographer falls into the hands of the Prince and Princess of Wales, he laughs and says, predictably and diplomatically: ‘Nice try.’
