PORTRAITURE

We are swamped with more and more images every day, so purpose-driven people and brands need their audience to connect, trust in and get a sense of who they are within seconds.  

As the online world evolves and AI bloats the algorithm, it's genuine, personalised, warm and considered portraiture that will cut through the noise and help you grow your presence.

I love meeting people, finding out what motivates them and makes them tick, and conveying that in a portrait. 

For over 30 years my portraiture commissions for innovators, founders, creatives, chefs and c-suites have helped people and organisations increase their impact, and won awards including the Portrait of Britain.

Each time it starts with learning about my subjects and their goals with authenticity and creating a genuine, fun and relaxed connection with the people I photograph.

“By far my best experience of this innately cringeworthy exercise ever!

New portraits are always a nightmare…except with Jonathan, who has an absolutely uncanny knack for capturing one’s ‘essence’ in a way you might not recognise or appreciate in your own modesty, but which friends, family, colleagues and clients will instantly ‘get’.

Wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommended!'“ ❤️🙏

“Jonathan can turn my shyness into a very confident woman.

A good photographer is someone who can transform you. Jonathan does that for me, he gives me the best pictures ever. He's very caring, kind and attentive. I have lots of fun going on a day out taking pictures with a professional like Jonathan.

He's respectful and understands cultural sensitivities.

As I grow as a leader, Jonathan is the only photographer that will capture my smile!”
