Mattia

photographer
Mattia Sedda is a professional event photographer based in Barcelona. He works with musicians, performers, producers, and organisations to document live events — delivering images suited to press coverage, promotional material, and archival records.
LIFE IN MOTION
Having trained and worked as an actor, clown, and theatre director, Mattia brings a perspective to event photography that is rare in the field. He understands performance from the inside — the rhythm of a scene, the weight of a moment, the difference between a pose and the real thing. That understanding shapes every image he takes, allowing him to anticipate rather than react, and to capture what it genuinely feels like to be in the room.
biography
Mattia Sedda is an actor, clown, theatre director, and photographer from Sardinia.
Performance has been central to his life from an early age. Mentored by the founder of Prima del Teatro in Italy, he went on to train in London — joining the National Youth Theatre, graduating from East 15 Acting School, and studying at École Philippe Gaulier.
His photography grew out of that same London period, beginning with street work and headshots for fellow actors before becoming a career in its own right. Since 2020, he has worked across headshots, theatre photography, and production imagery for theatre, comedy, and circus. His collaborations include Soho Theatre, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe, Greenwich Theatre, Jacksons Lane, and multiple Edinburgh Fringe venues, as well as performers such as Natalie Palamides, Julia Masli, and Josh Glanc, and companies including The 7 Fingers and Motionhouse. His work has also extended to festivals including La Mercè and Barcelona Fringe.
As a clown — a direction his teachers suggested with some persistence — Mattia trained with Philippe Gaulier and Spymonkey. His debut solo show, CHOIN, directed by Aitor Basauri, has played sold-out runs at the Museum of Comedy in London and in Italy, and has been presented at Edinburgh Fringe (2024 and 2025), Vault Festival, and Labyrinth Festival. Chortle named it one of the “10 Clowns to See at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe.”
As a screen actor, he has appeared in Hapless (Amazon Prime, Season 2) and is cast in an upcoming feature film.
