Matthew Nauser

Matthew has searched tirelessly for creative inspiration on a journey that has taken him to the ends of the earth and led to creative collaborations with some of its most compelling storytellers. After working for the Magnum Photos agency, and a stint as an assistant to conflict photographer James Nachtwey, he sought to expand his experience into the realm of documentary film. Matthew spent much of the last five years shooting documentary content around the world for Vice Magazine’’s VBS.TV, profiling the lives of politicians, warlords, celebrities, religious leaders, and everyday people with equal engagement. A growing exposure shooting behind-the-scenes of feature films, with Gaspar Noe’’s Enter the Void serving as a highlight, sparked Matthew’’s interest in pursuing feature narrative material. He recently participated in MTV’’s travelogue series The Vice Guide to Everything, shooting segments on location in Japan, Liberia, Russia, Brazil, and even a trip to Yemen, working with director Spike Jonze.
