“We have regularly used Emerald Frames and I cannot praise them enough. A huge selection of frames, mounts and glass. They are enormously enthusiastic about helping you find the perfect match. Framing is done to perfection. While local to me, I would travel a long way for this quality.”

Our blog
There’s something special about a portrait—it’s more than just a face on a canvas; it’s a story frozen in time. Few people know that better than Matt Barratt-Jones, whose work captures not just what someone looks like, but who they are.
We recently had the chance to sit down with Matt to chat about his creative process, what inspires his portraits.
At first glance, Matt’s portraits may strike you with bold tattoos etched across skin but look closer and you’ll find a striking calm, almost meditative presence - set against expressions of softness and serenity.
It’s this interplay of edge and ease that makes Matt’s work so compelling. In this interview, we dive into how they capture raw individuality while holding onto a sense of quiet emotion, creating portraits that feel both powerful and unexpectedly tender.
