Why Ember Films

Visuals that move people — built with craft, care and a clear creative direction.

01
Creative direction

Every project starts with a clear vision — the feeling, the audience, the outcome. Then the shot list, the look, the music.

02
Built for delivery

Over seven years in professional design taught me to plan, communicate clearly and deliver on time. No surprises, no missed deadlines.

03
Cinematic craft

A decade obsessing over colour, light, framing and motion. Every frame is considered. Every edit earns its place.

About

Matt
Bowles.

I'm a Perth-based videographer and photographer with over a decade of creative experience — producing work across weddings, real estate, commercial campaigns, travel and lifestyle content. Ember Films is built on one belief: that great visuals don't just look good, they make people feel something.

Before going full-time in production, I spent over seven years as a senior structural and mechanical design draftsman. That career gave me something most creatives don't have — the discipline to plan precisely, communicate clearly, and deliver without surprises. Every project I take on runs like a professional production, because that's the only standard I know.

You may know me from Australian Ninja Warrior, where I competed across multiple seasons. That same all-in mentality — the preparation, the focus under pressure, the refusal to half-commit — is exactly how I approach every brief.

Where it started

Ten years behind a lens.
It started underwater.

Long before it became a business, I was dragging props — a desk, a laptop, a tuxedo, a wheelbarrow full of crayfish — underwater on spearfishing trips, just to see what I could create. That instinct to find a creative angle where nobody else is looking is still how I approach every brief today.

My approach

I don't just point a camera.
I find the story.

Every project starts with a single question: what do we want the viewer to feel? That answer shapes every creative decision — the shot list, the edit rhythm, the music, the grade. I come to every shoot prepared, and I stay in clear communication from first brief to final delivery.

Whether it's a single-day shoot or an ongoing partnership, the level of care stays the same. No surprises. No missed deadlines. Just work you're genuinely proud of.
