From the lineup to behind the lens.
Kia ora, I'm Matt, the founder of Branded By Burner, a content studio based in Mangawhai.
Before I picked up a camera for a living, I was a pro surfer. Years of chasing waves along the coast taught me to read the light, stay patient and be ready when the moment comes. Now I put all of that into telling your story through the lens.
Great content isn't just about beautiful visuals. It's about telling your story in a way people remember. Whether you run a café, a gym, a building company or a growing brand, my job is to help you show up powerfully online.

How I work
Simple. No confusing packages, no hidden costs and no stressful process.
Just me. Photos, video, edits and drone, all from one person who cares about getting your story right.
Local. Based in Mangawhai and shooting across Northland and Auckland.
Relaxed. I turn up with the bag packed, guide you through the shoot, and we have a laugh along the way.
Planned. Every shoot starts with a plan, so there's no guesswork on the day.
