Matt Peterson is an Emmy Award-winning cinematographer and winner of Australia's top cinematography award, the prestigious Golden Tripod. His assignments have included the ASP World Surf Tour, Dakar Rally (Africa and South America), Iditarod Sled Dog Race, Tour de France, Olympics (Sydney, Athens, Beijing), Winter Extreme Games and the Ironman World Championships filmed in Hawaii. Matt has worked in some of the most rugged conditions in the world – from Alaska's Yukon to the Sahara desert and the dangerous waves of Teahupoo, yet he is equally adept in the studio shooting commercials, look packages, portraits and openers for clients including Gatorade, Puma, NHL, IndyCar, and Tour de France to name but a few. From the Red Camera to Phantom and 16-mm film cameras to panning time-lapses, Matt’s wealth of experience with creative rigging, car mounts and helicopter rigs make him one of the most sought-after cinematographers in the sports world.
