Without an expert eye behind the lens, there would be no Urban Angles. In the second installment of our ‘Meet Our Photographers’ series, it’s Mat Moore, answering our questions and sharing some of his favourite shots.

How did you get into photography?

“I got into photography from my eldest brother. Seeing photos he had taken while away camping adventures or hanging out with his friends.“

What excites you about photography?

“The unknown, The adventure, gaining access to areas otherwise restricted is what excites me about photography. Observing light and capturing situations that can generally pass unnoticed by people without the same type of interest. How a subject can take on 2 totally different personalities, all due to a change in light either subtly or drastically.“

What type of equipment do you prefer to use?

“Canon gear from early on till now, but looking towards a change to Sony.”

Which style of photography do you prefer and who is your favourite photographer?

“Travel, Reportage, Street and Architectural Photography are my favourite styles of photography with a strong influence from Shape, line, form and repetition. Eugene Richards, Sebastiao Salgado, James Nachtwey, Steve McCurry and Tim Griffiths being photographers I admire.”

Who inspires you when it comes to photography?

“My brother initially, One of my lecturers Guy Little while studying photography, Mark Munro who I used to assist early in my career and also the many people I have worked alongside over the last 15 years.”

If you like Mat’s work, check out some other examples from the team in our photography gallery.

Mat’s architectural and aerial work

Mat’s artist profile describes architectural photography that combines lifestyle elements with architectural form, including poolscapes, interiors and people within designed spaces. It records 20 years of residential photography, particularly high-end architectural homes and pools. Its featured categories are residential, drone photography and footage, and commercial spaces. The profile identifies Mat as a licensed drone pilot.

Those experience and licence statements belong to the archived profile. Mat appears on the Urban Artists roster but not on the September 2026 About team roster. Confirm current credentials and availability with our studio. Our FAQ says a particular photographer cannot be directly reserved at booking; you can note a preference for the studio to consider.

Planning for the light

Mat’s interview highlights how changing light changes a subject. For your own shoot, consider the property’s orientation and whether the building or nearby trees will shade the areas you want to show.

Our FAQ gives approximate dusk start-time ranges of 5:45–7:15 pm in summer and 2:15–3:45 pm in winter, shifting in roughly 15-minute increments through the year. These are commencement examples, not shoot durations or a schedule for every Australian location. The FAQ does not identify a location or timezone; confirm the appointment for your date and property.

The FAQ describes dawn as an alternative with the same intended result when dusk slots are full. Virtual Dusk is a separate per-image retouching service that adds a twilight effect to a daytime exterior, with an additional 24 hours after initial retouching. Confirm the desired treatment and timing for your image.

Retouching architectural photographs

Our FAQ lists standard property-image retouching such as removing flash and tripod reflections, reducing window glare, adding window detail, removing appliance stickers, adding fire when specified, blanking or blurring agent signboards, cleaning and colouring pools, greening existing vegetation, removing specified obvious cords and fixed garden hoses, improving ocean tones, removing carpet indentations and removing external rubbish bins that could not be moved on site. Full signboard removal is additional retouching. Confirm the edits included in your product and specify the requested changes.

For removal of external permanent structures, our FAQ requires written confirmation accepting full legal responsibility for the specific retouching request. Discuss the proposed edit and its potential to misrepresent the property. Read our retouching guidance.

Drone work

Our drone and aerial service describes operations under CASA requirements, with risk assessments and professional insurance standards. Our production team manages logistics, permissions and safety protocols. The service page does not publish licence numbers, insurance limits or a universal permitted flight area. Confirm feasibility and permissions for the location, particularly near airports, controlled zones or sensitive areas.

Our published range distinguishes aerial photography’s broader location perspective from drone viewpoints of a building. It includes Horizon, Orbital and Overhead views, Points of Interest Maps, View Shots and Drone Markups. Drone work can also be captured at dusk; Virtual Dusk is an editing service rather than an evening flight.

The FAQ says video and drone work would generally be rescheduled in adverse weather, while photography and floor plans would generally proceed. Adverse-weather rescheduling carries no cancellation fee. The product guide gives next-business-day delivery after selections for aerial/drone photographs; confirm timing for footage separately.
