His instantly recognizable work is seen globally in exhibitions, galleries, magazines and books, and form part of many fine art collections internationally.

Born in London, England, Jonathan became infatuated with the sea after moving to the famous sailing town of Lymington on the country's south coast at the age of 14. Years later, having moved to the South of France, he gave up a successful career as a marketing and brand director in order to return to his true passion; a combination of the sea, horses, and fine art photography. He has now worked in over 35 countries, including Mozambique, India, Japan, China, Cambodia, Norway, Greenland, and Tanzania.
Jonathan was named one of the 'Top 100 Photographers of All Time' by both the UK's Sunday Times newspaper and Professional Photographer Magazine. His first book, SILVER, a 136 page fine art edition, was published in 2014, and in 2016 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS),
An active supporter of ocean conservation, Jonathan lives in the Bay of Saint-Tropez in the South of France, with his wife and two children.
