[h1]Jonathon Jacob, professional photographer, 10th June 2020[/h1]Following on from the first Zoom talk evening, on Wednesday 10th June at 7:30pm we are delighted to have the finald evening with our guest speaker to provide R7 with an insight into his career as a professional photographer, Jonathan Jacob was born and bred in Sunderland, with a love for SAFC and savoury dips!
He achieved a 1st class BA (Hons) in Photography after majoring in Art and Design at college.
Jonathan’s first job was Picture Desk Manager with a press agency which supplied major national newspapers and magazines. Each day he assessed and wired over around 100 pictures – probably the best apprenticeship in the world for sharpening the eye, not just for composition but for the story.
Very soon Jonathan moved from processing photographs to taking them, and was always a buzz when seeing his pictures looking back at him from national newspapers and glossy magazines.
An unusual opportunity presented when Jonathan was given the chance of becoming a Police Photographic Officer. A world away from ‘the mags and the rags’, police photography demands high technical and interpretive skills. The remit was wide – from crime scenes to aerial photography, from public disorder to surveillance, and more. Each picture not only captured vital evidence but told the story.
Through stringent cuts to the Police role Jonathan went freelance in 2010. From then onwards his passion for anything automotive coupled with photography has become…. ‘The Best Job in the World’.
With over forty covers to his name Jonathan regularly shooting for several car magazines. Also shoots for Bentley Motors, Toyota and Honda UK.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We’ve asked Jonathan to share with us his career, passion and stories from the world of photography; in particular his automotive work.
