"Recognised as one of Sydney's most exciting emerging photographic talents, Jonathan imbues his subjects with humour and poignancy. His instinctual ability to take a concept and tell a fascinating visual story is both innovative and compelling.
Starting early, Jonathan won awards for Photography at school, but fell into a career in publishing print production, followed by advertising production. However, his night forays seeking interesting subjects to photograph, became more frequent and he realised that he could no longer ignore his desire to shoot. Jonathan enrolled in the Australian Centre of Photography and now indulges his love for the art.
Jonathan has two exhibitions under his belt - A Russian photography exhibition, in Moscow's Central House of Artists (the first ever Australian to do so), displaying 35 of his limited edition prints in 2007.
Jonathan also held a successful joint exhibition with Russian photographer Alexey Lyubimkin in Sydney in 2008.
However Jonathan’s great love is the quirky, creative, concept-driven advertising that comes out of true collaboration with art directors.
Jonathan loves to find interesting characters and unconventional locations, using colour and treatments to heighten the visual experience. Always looking for subtle humour, his work visually engages us by drawing us in to share the experience of the subject.
Making the transition from agency producer to freelance photographer, also places Jonathan in the unique position whereby he has worked closely with both Creatives and Account Service within the agency environment. One of Jonathan’s strengths is that he understands the required balance of production and client constraints without compromising the integrity of the creative vision.
Jonathan’s 9 years working in Advertising Agencies has given him wonderful opportunities to collaborate with some of the best creative minds in the world. Now he is working towards making his own mark in the industry with his fun and dynamic imagery. "
