Why Ember Films

Why people work with Ember Films.

01
I think before I shoot

I ask a lot of questions before I pick up a camera. What's the point of this? Who's it for? What should they feel? That answer drives everything else.

02
I know how to run a job

Seven years as a senior SMP design draftsman in Perth. I know how to run a complex project, keep clients in the loop, and deliver exactly what was agreed.

03
The details matter

Colour, light, framing, pacing, sound. I've spent ten years obsessing over the stuff most people don't consciously notice but definitely feel.

About

Matt
Bowles.

Perth videographer and photographer. I shoot weddings, real estate, commercial campaigns and lifestyle content across WA and beyond. I've been at this for over a decade. What keeps me in it is that good video and photography actually moves people. Not just looks nice. Makes them feel something.

Before videography full time, I spent over seven years as a senior SMP design draftsman in Perth. That background means I know how to plan a job properly, keep clients in the loop, and deliver what I said I would. No drama, no missed deadlines.

You might have seen me on Australian Ninja Warrior a few times too. Same mindset on set as on the course.

Where it started

It started with a GoPro and a wheelbarrow of crayfish.

On spearfishing trips with mates off Perth, I started dragging random props underwater just to see what I could make. A tuxedo, a laptop, a desk, a wheelbarrow full of crayfish. No budget, no plan, just messing around with a GoPro and a weird idea. That instinct never went away.

My approach

How I work.

Every job starts with a clear brief. What are we making, why does it exist, who's watching it? From there I put together a proper plan, show up ready, and keep you across things throughout. I'm not a set-and-forget kind of operator.

One shoot or an ongoing retainer, the standard stays the same. You'll get straight communication, a clean delivery, and work that actually does something for your brand.
