ChallengingContemporaryDisruptive
An image taken from a raised place with the camera looking down at Matthew Shiel playing the piano. Matthew - a white man with short black hair and a shaven face - is wearing a tux and black bow-tie, while looking up to the camera and smiling. Both his hands are holding down a chord on the white keys of a piano, while piano scores rest all around the background of the image.

A digital graphic art image of a robot playing a piano in a dimly lit room. There's a cold blue-white light pouring from above which lights the shiny silver body-frame of the robot. We see blue electronic veins from various wire connections that run internally of the robot, which bears a still, non-emotive expression. The room is lit with large spherical candles of varying lengths emanating a warm golden glow.
Moonlight
A photo that appears to be taken mid-performance where Matthew seems focussed and impassioned as he plays the piano. They room around them is dark, but the scene is lit with large spherical candles of varying lengths, of which we 7 rest atop the piano and the rest are scattered around the room. Matthew is wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a red bowtie.
