By Ellie Brown - Local Democracy Reporter 5th Nov 2021
A local videographer has made a stunning film of Teddington, inspired by his love for the town and its recent award from the Sunday Times.
Ben Matthews, 35, released a a compelling film of Teddington featuring its many attractions on YouTube last week.
Ben, who grew up in Twickenham, made the video after Teddington was named the Best Place to Live in London by the Sunday Times earlier this year.
The videographer, who is currently on furlough from his job as a flight attendant for Cathay Pacific, told Nub News: "I am a man who loves traveling the world and showing the people in the best way possible the beauty of the world through my lens and decided to make a video on Teddington as I had always told so many people how beautiful the town is.
"When I heard it won best town to live in London I knew that was a great opportunity to show the world what it had to offer.
"I'd always loved watching movies and travel videos from famous YouTubers such Sam Kolder, Christian Le Blanc and Benn TK.
"I never thought I would have the kind of money to learn how to be a videographer but when I watched some videos on YouTube I saw that all I needed to do was learn from video tutorials on YouTube.
"All I know has all come from YouTube and I've grown extremely passionate about making videos and want to make it a full-time career.
"My ultimate goal is to travel the world making travel videos and showcasing amazing attractions, cafes, restaurants through video and also my website which provides more information from everything that you have seen in the videos."
Ben added: "In the last year, to make some extra money, I have been making videos to help promote businesses on the side.
"One of the hardest things for me to cope with through this pandemic has been not being able to see my girlfriend for over one and half years.
"She is from Hong Kong and ever since the country stopped people traveling there I have not been able to see her. She also can't come here to see me as she has a full time job and kid to look after.
"We have applied for a visa for her and her son to come and live in London through the new BNO Visa scheme."
